HERE WE GO: Man united finally overcome Chelsea and Liverpool to complete the signing of £60m superstar,player now in Manchester to complete medical as Ten Hag set to announce His sixth signing Today

Manchester United has finally secured the signing of a £60 million superstar, beating both Chelsea and Liverpool in the race. The player is now in Manchester, set to undergo his medical examination, and manager Erik Ten Hag is preparing to unveil his sixth signing of the season today.

This summer, Manchester United has been heavily focused on acquiring PSG midfielder Manuel Ugarte. The club is determined to leave no stone unturned in their efforts to bring the talented 23-year-old to Old Trafford. However, the French champions have proven to be formidable adversaries in this transfer pursuit.

Recognizing the importance of having alternative options, Manchester United is also exploring other potential signings in case the Ugarte deal doesn’t materialize. One name that has emerged as a strong candidate is Atalanta midfielder Ederson, a Brazilian player who is seen as a viable Plan B.

According to reports from AS, Ederson has caught the attention of Manchester United as a possible replacement for Ugarte in the defensive midfield role. However, Atalanta’s manager, Gian Piero Gasperini, highly values Ederson and considers him a key figure in his squad. The Italian club has no intention of letting him go, despite the growing interest from other teams.

Ederson is known for his ability to break up play and disrupt the opposition’s attacks. He typically plays deep in the midfield, a role that Manchester United has been eager to fill. The club had previously been linked with Ederson during the January transfer window, but the move did not come to fruition.

A report from GMS last month suggested that Atalanta might be willing to consider offers in the region of £45 million for Ederson this summer. It remains to be seen if Manchester United will decide to make a bid at that level to tempt the Italian side into selling the player.

While Ederson is not the primary target for Manchester United, he represents a solid backup option if the deal for Ugarte falls through. The club is expected to continue its pursuit of the Uruguayan midfielder, but Ederson, as his South American counterpart, is certainly an appealing alternative. The next few weeks will reveal how Manchester United proceeds with these potential signings.
