Overview
- Andrey Santos completed medical checks at Carrington and is expected to be announced as a Manchester United player after meeting coach Michael Carrick on Friday.
- Multiple outlets reported Éderson’s agreed switch from Atalanta to United has collapsed following extra medical scrutiny, while Atalanta insist he is fit and United say the transfer is not definitively off.
- United have activated contingency plans and are targeting João Gomes of Wolves and Roma’s Manu Kone, with Roma reported to demand more than £45–50m for Kone.
- The club wants two to three midfield signings to replace Casemiro and cover World Cup and injury disruptions, a need sharpened by delayed post-tournament medicals and a tight summer market.
- If United withdraw from Éderson, other Premier League clubs including Newcastle are ready to monitor or bid for him, leaving Atalanta free to reintegrate the player or seek new offers.
