Manchester United are on the hunt for a midfielder before the start of next season and an opportunity is coming to sign Atalanta’s Éderson.
Ruben Amorim’s team has lacked control and bite in central midfield in the opening few months of 2025–26, with Manuel Ugarte notably not doing enough to impress the manager. Kobbie Mainoo is also struggling to command regular game time, with starts in that area of the pitch predominantly going to Casemiro, who lacks the mobility of yesteryear, and the more attack-minded Bruno Fernandes.
