According to a recent report by Givemesport on Tuesday May 26, 2026, Manchester United are closing in on their first summer signing as the club hold serious discussions over a move for Atalanta midfielder Ederson, with transfer insider Fabrizio Romano confirming the talks have reached an advanced stage.
The Red Devils enter this transfer window with midfield reinforcement at the top of their agenda. Veteran Brazilian Casemiro is set to leave Old Trafford when his contract expires, and the club remains open to sanctioning the departure of Manuel Ugarte, leaving a significant void at the heart of the team.
United’s primary target throughout the window has been Nottingham Forest’s Elliot Anderson, though that pursuit has grown more complicated following reports that Manchester City are now pushing hard to land the young midfielder before the summer World Cup gets underway.
The crosstown rivalry for Anderson’s signature has prompted United’s recruitment team to keep alternative options firmly on the table.
Ederson has quickly emerged as one of the most compelling of those alternatives. A United delegation made the trip to Italy last week to open direct conversations with Atalanta, signalling just how seriously the club is taking this potential deal.
Romano, speaking on his YouTube channel, offered a clear picture of where negotiations currently stand, stating that discussions with both the player and club are genuinely progressing, but that the final decision rests entirely with United.
“Man Utd are still in the process to discuss internally because they have several candidates for the midfield position,” Romano explained.
With no final green light given yet, supporters will need to exercise patience, though the foundations for a significant piece of business appear firmly in place.
Favor As Higher Power?
(The hidden truth)
Some positions in life cannot be held or retained for long if you are not favored. Favor is higher power. You are not the only one desiring, deserving, connected, powerful or qualified. Some positions in life, opportunities, success, achievements, triumphs, selection, approvals, power and position, elevation, patronage, etc, are mainly through favor. Favor is silent, spiritual and higher power. For spiritual guidance, other solutions, call/Whatsapp Dr J.A. Faros on 07030514063. With God, all are possible.
