They were prepared to spend a lot of money to acquire two new midfielders. Ederson will receive praise from players already playing in the Premier League. United have been linked with signings Sandro Tonali, Carlos Baleva and Adam Wharton. They also have an interest in Elliott Anderson, although his preference remains for him to move to neighboring Manchester City.

United are understood to be keen to sign a left-back, left-winger and possibly also a striker. When it comes to signing players currently in England camp, manager Thomas Tuchel has said he will not interfere with any transfer business as long as it does not disrupt the group.
“If it is done quietly, privately and efficiently, we are always happy to work together to clarify the surroundings of the players,” the German said. “I think the best thing we can have is clarity. If someone has a chance to change clubs and complete a transfer, we will not stand in their way.”
