Manchester United's pursuit of Atalanta midfielder Ederson is in doubt after a potential medical issue emerged. The clubs had agreed on a £35 million fee for the Brazilian, with the transfer expected to be finalized before pre-season training.

However, Ederson's late call-up to Brazil's World Cup squad complicated matters. While it was anticipated he would complete his medical after Brazil's elimination, reports suggest medical tests have revealed a problem. Sources close to the deal remain divided, with some indicating the transfer is off while others deny any definitive decision has been made.

This uncertainty marks another setback for Manchester United this summer. The club prioritized midfield reinforcements for their Champions League return but saw targets like Elliot Anderson (£116 million fee sought) and Mateus Fernandes (who joined Tottenham for £85 million) slip away. The potential failure to secure Ederson leaves fans awaiting clarity on the club's transfer strategy.
