Manchester United agree £45m deal for Michael Carrick’s first summer transfer

Manchester United have reached an agreement with Atalanta to sign Ederson, according to reports in Italy.

With Casemiro leaving Old Trafford on a free transfer this summer, United have considered several midfield options including Nottingham Forest’s Elliot Anderson, Crystal Palace’s Adam Wharton, Brighton’s Carlos Baleba and West Ham’s Mateus Fernandes.

But according to Sport Italia, United have now agreed a €53 million (£45.8m) deal with Atalanta to sign Ederson in the summer window.
