Manchester United used to buy players, and they were basically "suckers". Now Ten Hag insists that Manchester United's recruitment and salary should be reasonable. Although Ten Hag is optimistic about Paris' 23-year-old Uruguayan midfielder Ugarte, Paris insists on asking for 51 million pounds, and Manchester United has to give up, not wanting to be "slaughtered".

According to the latest news from reporter Ben Jacobs, Manchester United has regarded Atlanta's 25-year-old Brazilian midfielder Ederson as a target for this summer's midfield reinforcement.

The reporter said that ManchesterUnited riginally thought that after Paris signed Sporting CP's midfielder Neves, they would sell Ugarte as soon as possible because the two positions overlapped, and lowered the asking price for Ugarte, but Paris was not in a hurry to sell players or lower the price. Manchester United's first two offers for Ugarte were rejected by Paris, with the highest amount being 30 million pounds and Ugarte's transfer price being 45 million euros. If Paris does not lower the price, Manchester United will shift its recruitment target and regard Atlanta's midfield core Ederson as a recruitment target. The Brazilian international also intends to move to the Premier League and increase his income.

Ederson joined Atalanta from Salernitana for a transfer fee of 22.9 million euros in the summer window of 2022. In Serie A, he became the Europa League champion midfielder and one of the best midfielders in Serie A. He also attracted the attention of many European giants, including Manchester United, Liverpool, Barcelona, Atletico Madrid and Juventus.

Ederson, 25 years old, is 1.83 meters tall, a right-footed player, who can play as a midfielder, defensive midfielder and attacking midfielder. His contract with Atalanta last year is until 2027. The transfer price is 40 million euros, and the current annual salary is 2 million euros after tax. Ederson played 53 times for Atalanta in all competitions last season, including 47 starts, contributing 7 goals and 1 assist. Ederson participated in the 2024 America's Cup with Brazil, but only played as a substitute once (17 minutes); while Manchester United midfielder Casemiro missed the Brazil America's Cup roster despite being in good health.
