With the January transfer window fast approaching, Manchester United are actively exploring midfield reinforcements under new manager Ruben Amorim.
- Among the players catching their attention is Atalanta’s 25-year-old midfielder, Ederson, according to Sky Sports Germany’s Florian Plettenberg.
- The Red Devils are reportedly in discussions about a potential move for Ederson, who is a key figure in Atalanta’s starting XI.
- With over two years left on his contract, the Brazilian has demonstrated his versatility, excelling in both central and defensive midfield roles this season.
- United are said to be eager to secure reinforcements as soon as the window opens, and Ederson’s name is high on the list of priorities.
- In addition to Ederson, United are also keeping tabs on Sunderland’s teenage sensation Chris Rigg.
- The 17-year-old has been pivotal for Sunderland’s Championship-leading side, earning him serious interest from Premier League clubs, including Crystal Palace.
- However, Sunderland manager Regis Le Bris has urged Rigg to stay put, emphasizing the importance of his current environment for development.
- Le Bris explained that both Rigg and Jobe Bellingham are very young and playing well, but they are still in the right zone for their career growth.
- He highlighted the importance of learning in a collective style and cautioned against an early move, which could hinder their progress.
