An initial medical check on Manchester United target Ederson raised concerns | OneFootball

Manchester United must decide whether to press ahead with a deal for Atalanta midfielder Ederson or pull the plug, according to the Daily Mail.

Man United agreed a fee of £35 million plus £3.8m in add-ons with the Serie A club in June to bring the Brazilian to the Old Trafford club.

However, an initial medical check has raised concerns over the 27-year-old.

The Red Devils conducted tests on Ederson while he was on international duty with Brazil at the World Cup.

Man United insisted on extra checks and are planning to hold a further round of medical with the Brazilian international.

The deal could go through if the Atalanta midfielder passes his medical, but nothing is guaranteed yet and the Red Devils could go back into the transfer market for a replacement.

Man United are close to signing Andrey Santos for £50 million after the Chelsea midfielder completed a medical.

However, the 22-year-old is not being signed as an alternative to Ederson and both Brazilians could be signed if the club are satisfied with the test results of the Atalanta star.

The Red Devils would still like to sign a third midfielder should both Santos and Ederson join them following Manuel Ugarte’s long-term injury.

The Chelsea midfielder is set to become their first signing of the summer.

Wales international goalkeeper Karl Darlow is also set to join them and is currently undergoing a medical.

Man United also want to strengthen in other areas, with a left-back and left-sided attacker on their radar as manager Michael Carrick looks to hit the ground running when the new season kicks off.
