Manchester United are looking to sign the Brazilian midfielder Ederson Dos Santos during the summer transfer window.

According to a report from Ben Jacobs, Manchester United have made contact with the 26-year-old central midfielder’s representatives. He could cost around €50 million in the summer, and Manchester United need someone with his skill set.

Man United could use Ederson

They need to control games better, especially now that they are expected to secure Champions League qualification for the upcoming campaign. Ederson will add control and composure to the team. He can help out defensively and create opportunities for his teammates as well. The 26-year-old has all the tools to develop into a complete central midfielder, and regular football in the Premier League could help him fulfil his potential.

The opportunity to move to England will be exciting at this stage of his career. He is entering his peak years, and he will look to fight for trophies regularly. Manchester United have shown significant improvement in recent months and could be pushing for trophies next season. They are likely to be an attractive destination for the player.
