The Ederson to Manchester United saga just keeps getting weirder and weirder with mixed messages coming out about the deal this evening.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Earlier this evening, two highly reliable journalists in Fabrizio Romano and Matteo Moretto posted that Ederson\u2019s move to Man Utd had now collapsed.<\/p>\n

Moretto stated that Ederson had failed a medical, while Romano made it clear that the Red Devils had informed Atalanta that they were not signing the Brazilian midfielder.<\/p>\n

Manchester United seem to believe Ederson transfer could still be on<\/h2>\n

There are, however, some conflicting sources close to United insisting that this deal has not fallen through just yet, even if there are some issues appearing to complicate things\u2026<\/p>\n

\n

#mufc stressing processes ongoing for three possible signings (Ederson, Santos and Darlow) and that it\u2019s not accurate that the Ederson deal is off. Clearly a great degree of doubt about it, at the very least, though.<\/p>\n

United sources are strongly denying the Ederson deal is off. #mufc feel suggestions the transfer has collapsed is pressure to close the deal<\/p>\n

Could this just be pressure from Atalanta that has been leaked to Italian journalists? We\u2019ll presumably find out soon enough.<\/p>\n

Manchester United targeting Manu Kone over Ederson?<\/h2>\n

Another theory could be that United have simply pulled the plug on Ederson because they now prefer Roma\u2019s Manu Kone instead.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s what\u2019s being reported by Sport Mediaset, with the \u20ac50m-rated Frenchman seemingly now United\u2019s focus in midfield.<\/p>\n

Perhaps Kone would be a better signing than Ederson, but it seems strange that MUFC would get as advanced with one signing before U-turning at the last minute to go for someone else.<\/p>\n

Hopefully things will become clearer soon and we\u2019ll do our best to keep you up to date!<\/p>\n
