They have since turned their attention to Wolverhampton Wanderers star Joao Gomes, paving the way for United to ignite their pursuit of Ederson, whose contract with Atalanta expires next summer.

United and Mateus Fernandes: The state of play

The 21-year-old may be about to suffer a second successive relegation from the top flight, having fallen victim to the dreaded drop with Southampton last season.

West Ham have two fixtures remaining to determine their fate, while simultaneously wanting favours from Tottenham Hotspur’s last two opponents, Chelsea and Everton.

Either way, Fernandes might be on the move.

He is attracting growing interest, and should United make a formal approach in the coming weeks, it would give him the opportunity to ply his trade in the Champions League.

However, if Nuno Espirito Santo’s men do retain their Premier League status, you’d imagine they’d be demanding an exorbitant fee to part ways with the Portugal youngster after having him in their ranks for only eight months.
