What can Ederson bring to Manchester United?
Ederson has impressed in his career in Serie A, and it will be interesting to see if he can make the step up to playing in the Premier League.
Still, on his day Ederson has shown that he can perform as a strong all-rounder in the middle of the park, with the Brazilian both solid defensively and good at bringing the ball forward.
With Casemiro leaving United this summer at the end of his contract, it makes sense that Ederson seems to be coming in to play his role.
According to a recent report from Marca viaSport Witness, Ederson was wanted by Arsenal and Atletico Madrid as well.
Overall, this looks like a solid signing for MUFC, though it’s always hard to tell how players will adapt to playing in a new league.
The 26-year-old looks like he has it in him to shine at the highest level, but he’s not the youngest, so he’ll be under some pressure to hit the ground running at his new club, or else there’ll be fears that he won’t have much room for improvement.
