Ederson may join Manchester United after World Cup omission

Summary

Ederson, a midfielder for Atalanta, was included in Carlo Ancelotti's long list for Brazil's World Cup squad but did not make the final 26. With Casemiro set to leave Manchester United and potential interest in Manuel Ugarte, Ederson is seen as a strong candidate to strengthen United's midfield. His dynamic style is compared to Newcastle's Bruno Guimaraes. After an impressive stint in Serie A, Ederson's lack of selection for the World Cup could push him toward a significant move this summer.

What they're saying

"
Ederson was part of Carlo Ancelotti's World Cup long list of 55 players, but the midfielder - who turns 27 in July - did not make Brazil's final 26. With only five midfielders in the squad, the Selecao could yet regret not taking him to the tournament - although his country's loss could be his possible new club's gain. Ederson would seem to have plenty to add to Manchester United, who are looking to bolster their midfield options.
