Atalanta star Ederson set for second medical in the UK with Manchester United | OneFootball

Atalanta midfielder Ederson is set to undergo a second medical in the United Kingdom ahead of his move to Manchester United, according to journalist Fabrizio Romano.

Man United have already agreed a €45 million deal for the 26-year-old and held a first round of medical tests in the United States.

However, no contract has been signed yet despite a verbal agreement, and the Red Devils want extra checks as they plan to hold a further round of medical tests.

With Brazil out of the World Cup following their 2-1 defeat to Norway in the round of 16 last night, Ederson is expected to fly into England.

There have been rumours that the deal had fallen through, but that is not the case. However, the player’s future will depend on the results of the second medical.

Ederson made two appearances at the World Cup, coming off the bench against Haiti and Norway.

He was a late inclusion in the squad following injury problems to Carlo Ancelotti’s final squad.

The Atalanta star will hope all goes well in the coming days, and he is expected to complete a move to Man United if nothing is flagged up during the new tests.

They have yet to make any additions to their squad this summer but have released Casemiro, Tyrell Malacia and Jadon Sancho.

Rasmus Hojlund has joined Napoli in a £38m deal after his loan spell last season, while Andre Onana has returned to Trabzonspor on loan.

Ederson could become the Red Devils’ first summer signing as manager Michael Carrick looks to hit the ground running in his first full season in charge.
