The \u2018here we go\u2019 arrived a few days ago, but now all documents have been signed between Man Utd and Atalanta for Ederson. The Brazilian midfielder is officially a Man Utd player from today.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat remains now is for Ederson to travel to England after his holidays, complete his formal medical and sign his contract. I am told that an initial unofficial medical already took place with Atalanta\u2019s authorisation and everything was positive. The agreement between Ederson and Man Utd has been in place for months, as the player only wanted this move.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe agreement between the clubs has now also been completed in writing. In terms of an official announcement and seeing Ederson holding the Man Utd shirt, we need a little more patience while the final formalities are completed. However, all paperwork is now signed and Man Utd have secured their first midfield signing of the summer.<\/p>\n<p>READ:<a href=\"https:\/\/www.football365.com\/news\/man-utd-huge-windfall-greenwood-al-hilal-offer\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"> Man Utd set for \u00a352m transfer windfall as club make \u00a3104m \u2018offer\u2019 for Greenwood<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u201cMan Utd are not stopping there. They want at least one more midfielder and work is already taking place behind the scenes. After completing the Ederson deal, the club will continue to push for further additions in that area.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>And now Leboeuf thinks Man Utd should sign Zaire-Emery as their next summer signing as Carrick and the Red Devils hierarchy look for at least another one midfielder.<\/p>\n<p>Leboeuf told Canada Sports Betting: \u201cI think that would be a great signing for Manchester United, but he will need players around him to succeed.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m very fond of Michael Carrick and the job he did for Manchester United, and he was playing in the position of Zaire-Emery.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo I\u2019m pretty sure he would give him great advice to improve. It could be a great move for him.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cZaire-Emery is a warrior. He\u2019s going to sacrifice himself for the team he plays for. That\u2019s for sure. Will he be ready? I\u2019m not sure yet.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe had a strange season. He finished it well, but he struggled for the first six months. That\u2019s why he didn\u2019t play most games. Maybe because he was wondering if he should stay or not.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u2018He would be my dream signing for Manchester United in so many ways\u2019<\/p>\n<p>Louis Saha has also given his backing to Man Utd signing Zaire-Emery with the former France international describing the midfielder as his \u201cdream signing\u201d at Old Trafford.<\/p>\n<p>Saha told Compare Bet: \u201cI would say without any hesitation, any club in the world, from any country, would love to have Warren Zaire-Emery in their side because he\u2019s an unbelievable player.<\/p>\n<p>READ:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.football365.com\/news\/man-utd-signing-completed-100-percent-confirmed-fabrizio-romano\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Man Utd signing \u2018completed\u2019 and \u2018100 percent confirmed\u2019 \u2013 Fabrizio Romano<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u201cYes, maybe because of his youth, sometimes he might be picked after Fabian Ruiz or Vitinha and Joao Neves, but that\u2019s because those three are extremely powerful and complete.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cZaire-Emery is still learning and he can play in midfield, at right-back and at right midfield. He is someone who can adapt, he is very intelligent, very committed, very focused.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAny manager in the world will love to have him at their club because he will perform in nine out of ten games. He will never complain, he will work hard, and he will entertain you as well.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m a big fan. He just appeared on the scene very young and was questioned, he has been proving people wrong ever since.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe would be my dream signing for Manchester United in so many ways. In terms of quality in that midfield, he could fit in alongside Kobbie Mainoo, he can run with the ball and pass in tight positions.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe definitely has an enormous future ahead of him, and if United can manage to sign him, it\u2019s a different calibre.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI won\u2019t be surprised to see any big team sign him like Barcelona, Real Madrid, Bayern Munich, or whoever.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>READ NEXT:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.football365.com\/news\/mateus-fernandes-manchester-united-west-ham-united\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">West Ham react to rumours Man Utd want to sign Mateus Fernandes<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Former France and Chelsea star Frank Leboeuf has urged Man Utd to sign Warren Zaire-Emery from Paris Saint-Germain&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":487659,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[209597,1100,61,60,917,43,1102,112],"class_list":["post-487658","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-sports","tag-frank-leboeuf","tag-home-page","tag-ie","tag-ireland","tag-manchester-united","tag-news","tag-premier-league","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/487658","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=487658"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/487658\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/487659"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=487658"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=487658"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=487658"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
