Coaches love him for his energy and that his intensity rarely dips; if his attacking actions don&#8217;t quite come off, the defensive discipline, work rate and avid pressing are always there. While a diligent defender and ball-winner &#8212; consistently recording respectable recovery numbers (7.5 per 90) &#8212; Ederson also brings more playmaking than the run-of-the-mill &#8220;destroyer.&#8221; His ability to slide passes through the lines has improved year on year and he has become one of Serie A&#8217;s more direct, tempo-changing midfield distributors. In a high-energy, vertical side that a traditional Manchester United aspire to be, Ederson looks tailor-made.<\/p>\n<p>OTHER RUMORS<img class=\" lazyload lazyload\"\/>play<\/p>\n<p>2:18<\/p>\n<p>Will Chelsea give Liam Rosenior the time to succeed?<\/p>\n<p class=\"contentItem__subhead\">James Olley wonders if Chelsea and their fans are patient enough to give the inexperienced Liam Rosenior the chance to succeed as their manager.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; AC Milan are keen to sign winger Rafael Le\u00e3o to a new contract.
