Manchester United’s recent momentum hit a roadblock as their latest Premier League fixture against Crystal Palace ended in a goalless draw.

Despite Erik Ten Hag’s side dominating the match, their inability to convert opportunities into goals left them frustrated and still searching for that elusive victory.

Amidst the ongoing buzz, reports have surfaced that United, along with several other top clubs, are eyeing a Brazilian defender to add more versatility to their squad.

Manchester United set their eyes on Brazilian midfielder Ederson

According to a report by TNT Sports Brazil, Manchester United could join the possible race to sign the Brazilian midfielder Ederson from the Italian club Atalanta. Ederson played a key role in the club’s UEFA Europa League triumph last season,, and that has helped enhance his rising reputation.

Furthermore, the same report reveals that Manchester United are not the only ones pursuing this talented player. European heavyweights such as Juventus, Newcastle, and Barcelona have also shown interest in signing the 25-year-old.

The Brazilian defender earned his first international cap in June this year. Since joining Atalanta from Salernitana, he has made 96 appearances for the Serie A club, contributing eight goals and three assists. Currently, he is earning around £49,231 per week in Italy.

With many top-class midfielders already in their ranks, it seems unlikely that Erik Ten Hag and the United management will make a strong push to sign Ederson. However, much will depend on the team’s performance this season.

The most crucial factor, of course, will be the financial aspect. With so many big clubs interested, it remains uncertain whether Old Trafford will be willing to spend a significant amount to secure his services.
