Ederson Set to Join Manchester United
Manchester United are poised to sign Brazilian midfielder Ederson from Atalanta after the 26-year-old agreed to an early switch. The move is part of manager Michael Carrick's plan to rebuild the midfield following the departure of Casemiro. United aim to improve on last season's third-place finish and make an impact in their Champions League return.
Elliot Anderson Blow: Manchester City Deal
United's pursuit of Nottingham Forest's Elliot Anderson has ended after Manchester City struck a deal worth up to £130 million. Anderson has agreed personal terms on a five-year contract worth around £200,000-a-week and is expected to undergo a medical in New York on Friday. The transfer makes Anderson the most expensive Englishman in top-flight history.
Mateus Fernandes Transfer Twist
United face competition from Tottenham Hotspur for West Ham midfielder Mateus Fernandes. The Hammers have priced the Portugal international at £80 million. According to The Sun, Tottenham are prepared to offer higher wages than United. However, United can offer Champions League football, which Spurs cannot. Southampton, who sold Fernandes for £38 million last year, are entitled to 15% of any future transfer fee. Fernandes contributed three goals and four assists in 36 league appearances but could not prevent West Ham's relegation.
Andre Onana 'Agrees' Terms to Leave
Goalkeeper Andre Onana is close to finalising a move away from United. Turkish outlet A Spor reports that Onana has accepted all financial demands from Trabzonspor, where he spent last season on loan. The 30-year-old lost his first-choice spot to Senne Lammens and made 33 appearances for Trabzonspor, winning the Turkish Cup. He is expected to return on another loan deal.
