Manchester United's attempt to sign Brazilian midfielder Ederson from Atalanta is in doubt. The club agreed a £35m fee on 2 June, but the transfer was delayed when Ederson received a late call-up to Brazil's World Cup squad. While sources have said medical tests have shown an issue, with one telling BBC Sport the deal is off, sources at both clubs deny this and say no decision has been made. If the transfer falls through, it would be another setback for United after a difficult summer. The club prioritized strengthening their midfield but missed out on top targets Elliot Anderson and Mateus Fernandes due to spiralling fees. Fans are now waiting to discover whether the Ederson deal will go through.
