Romano says the player is “close to signing,” and Man Utd is eyeing a £95 million double swoop.

According to Florian Plettenberg of Sky Germany, Manchester United is interested in Ederson, a midfielder for Atalanta, and Nuno Mendes, a defender for Paris Saint-Germain.

 

The Red Devils have had an awful Premier League season; after 16 games, Ruben Amorim’s team is currently in 13th place. On Thursday night, they were eliminated from the Carabao Cup 4-3 at Tottenham.

Man Utd will want to assist Amorim during the transfer window by giving him players who complement his philosophy and style of play.

 

Ahead of the January transfer window, a number of players have already been linked to the Red Devils in an attempt to strengthen a variety of areas.

 

With money tight, Man Utd may be able to compete in the winter market with the possible sale of Marcus Rashford, who wants a “new challenge” away from Old Trafford.

Additionally, Plettenberg maintains that Amorim is looking to strengthen that position and that they are “seriously considering” Ederson, a midfielder for Atalanta.

 

“I’ve been informed once more that #Ederson is among the select few names Manchester United is giving serious consideration to for the central midfield position,” Plettenberg posted on X. Some decision-makers have complete faith in his skills.

 

But as of right now, the club does not have whole agreement. As a result, there are currently no formal negotiations. However, #MUFC has scouted him several times and has all the knowledge they need. Atalanta contract to 2027. appraisal of prices. €50–60 million.

Plettenberg continued on X: “As we disclosed in our show three weeks ago, Manchester United is still very interested in Nuno #Mendes. Paris Saint-Germain wants to keep Mendes into 2026, but I’ve been informed that there are a lot of top suitors, therefore it is not currently planned for him to sign anytime soon.

 

“Mendes and Amorim work for the same organization, and #MUFC is conscious of Mendes’ predicament! The two costly preferred left-back possibilities for Manchester United at the moment, if Alphonso Davies extends his contract with Bayern, are 22-year-old Mendes and Theo Hernández.
