Romano confirms “modern midfielder” is “appreciated” at Man United, will be “very expensive”

Atalanta midfielder Ederson has been linked with a move away from the Italian club in recent months, and Manchester United are interested in securing his signature.

The 26-year-old has established himself as one of the best midfield players in Serie A, and Fabrizio Romano has now revealed that he is appreciated at Manchester United. However, it will be an expensive acquisition, and Manchester United are focused on other targets for now.

Romano said to GMS: “He’s appreciated but he’s also very expensive, so the situation is quiet at the moment. Man United’s focus is on Mbeumo.”

Man United could use Ederson

It will be interesting to see if they decide to make a move for the Brazilian midfielder in the coming weeks. They need more quality and depth in the middle of the park, and the 26-year-old could be the ideal fit for them. He has the physicality and technical attributes to adapt to English football, and he will look to establish himself as a key player for the club.

Ederson will add creativity, drive and defensive cover to the side. Apart from his technical attributes, the South American is quite intelligent and composed with the ball at his feet. He could be the complete midfielder Manchester United are in desperate need of. Ederson has been described as a “modern midfielder” in the past.

The player is in the peak years of his career, and this could be the right time for him to join a big club and take on a new challenge. He has the ability to succeed in the Premier League, and Ederson could transform Manchester United in the middle of the park.

He has proved himself and Italy, and he will look to test himself at a higher level. Manchester United are among the biggest clubs in the world, and the opportunity to move to the Premier League can be hard to turn down as well.
