Manchester United have agreed a deal to sign Atalanta midfielder Ederson.<\/p>\n

Sky Sports News understands United will pay an initial fee of \u00a334m (\u20ac40.5m) plus \u00a33.8m (\u20ac4.5m) in potential add-ons.<\/p>\n

Ederson is set to sign a four-year deal at the club with an option to extend his stay for an additional 12 months.<\/p>\n

The deal is expected to go through before July, subject to Ederson completing a medical, which would make the 26-year-old the first signing of the Michael Carrick era.<\/p>\n

United look set to sign a player they have held a long-term interest in but want to sign another midfielder during the summer window, due to Casemiro leaving and Manuel Ugarte also likely to depart.<\/p>\n

Who is Ederson and what will he bring to Man Utd’s midfield?<\/a><\/p>\n

Manchester United’s midfield must be overhauled this summer and while Ederson alone is not the answer, his signing looks a step in right direction. The 26-year-old Brazil international from Atalanta can bring the dynamism that Michael Carrick needs.<\/p>\n

\"Ederson<\/p>\n

Kobbie Mainoo oozes class but United need different options as they seek to replace the departing Casemiro and the disappointingly limited Manuel Ugarte.<\/p>\n

Ederson, with whom they have long been linked, looks a smart signing because of his flexibility.<\/p>\n
