Manchester United shift focus to Joao Gomes and Manu Kone after Ederson delay

Manchester United have adjusted their transfer priorities after the move for Atalanta midfielder Ederson hit a snag. According to ESPN, the Brazilian had already agreed personal terms with the Premier League club, but a call-up to the Brazil national team for the World Cup postponed his medical examination. That delay prompted United’s hierarchy to explore other options. The primary alternatives now are Wolverhampton’s Joao Gomes and Roma’s Manu Kone. It’s worth noting that United have already bolstered their midfield by signing Andre Santos from Chelsea. The fee for Ederson was expected to be around €40 million. While the club has officially denied abandoning the deal entirely, the Brazilian remains on their radar as they monitor the situation.
