Manchester United\u2019s planned midfield overhaul could begin in January with talks to sign one option expected to open soon.<\/strong><\/p>\n

There is going to be a revolution within the midfield at Manchester United<\/a>, and it will be transformational for Ruben Amorim<\/a>.<\/p>\n

In preparation for this, United have been linked with countless midfielders<\/a>, and all would be upgrades stylistically on the current selection Amorim has.<\/p>\n

This was expected to commence in the summer, but reports suggest United could make a Joao Gomes move<\/a> in January.<\/p>\n

Now another target is expected to be moved for imminently.<\/p>\n

\"EdersonPhoto by Franco Romano\/NurPhoto via Getty ImagesManchester United could soon resume interest in Ederson<\/p>\n

Manchester United were very keen on Ederson in the summer<\/a>, although no deal ultimately transpired for the Serie A midfielder.<\/p>\n

Now, it could be a hot topic again in 2026 if reports in his native Brazil are to be believed.<\/p>\n

According to the Brazilian outlet Trivela<\/a>, Ederson is nearing the end of his time at Atalanta, with his exit considered a matter of \u2018when\u2019, not \u2018if\u2019.<\/p>\n

It is explained that United is a probable destination for Ederson, as they maintain frequent contact with his representatives.<\/p>\n

Additionally, there is an expectation that conversations between the club and player will open soon, suggesting that United could be in for Ederson in January.<\/p>\n

After his latest performances, do you want Casemiro to sign a one-year contract extension? <\/p>\n

The report notes that Ederson is considered a replacement for Casemiro, with the legendary Brazilian set to leave the club in the summer<\/a>.<\/p>\n

United will face competition from Juventus to sign Ederson, although whether there is enough interest to warrant a move remains to be seen.<\/p>\n

Atalanta could ask for \u00a343.7m for Ederson<\/a>, which is due to his contract having 18 months left, and is a big drop from quotations in prior windows.<\/p>\n

How has Ederson been performing in 2025\/26?<\/p>\n

Being 26 years old and having zero Premier League experience, Ederson doesn\u2019t exactly fit Ineos\u2019 recruitment model, although there is no denying his quality.<\/p>\n

This season, Ederson has only played eight games in Serie A, with his form only really beginning to pick up over the course of November after a slow start.<\/p>\n

The Brazilian has been particularly excellent in the Champions League, where he has been at his all-action best, winning seven duels and scoring this week against Frankfurt.<\/p>\n

However, there should be hesitation to sign Ederson given his lack of English football experience, which probably sets Gomes as a better January addition to make an immediate impact.<\/p>\n

One to keep an eye on.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Manchester United\u2019s planned midfield overhaul could begin in January with talks to sign one option expected to open…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":598952,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4100],"tags":[11493,15068,94,79,16,15],"class_list":{"0":"post-598951","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-football","8":"tag-casemiro","9":"tag-ederson","10":"tag-football","11":"tag-sports","12":"tag-uk","13":"tag-united-kingdom"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/115626636619821820","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/598951","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=598951"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/598951\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/598952"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=598951"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=598951"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=598951"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
