Following the high-profile signings of forwards Matheus Cunha and Bryan Mbeumo, Manchester United’s transfer focus is shifting towards strengthening their midfield, with a new target emerging.
The arrivals of the new attackers will allow club captain Bruno Fernandes to operate in a deeper, more traditional central midfield role. However, according to The Telegraph, head coach Ruben Amorim still feels the team is short of quality in that area of the pitch as he looks to build a squad capable of competing for top honours.
As a result, Manchester United are now reportedly looking at signing star midfielder Éderson from the Serie A club, Atalanta.
The Brazilian was a powerhouse performer last season, known for his energy, defensive work rate, and ability to control the middle of the park. A move for Éderson signals Amorim’s intent to build a more robust and balanced midfield engine room, likely to partner Casemiro and provide a solid foundation for the more creative Fernandes to thrive ahead of them.
