Man United 'plot move for Brazilian midfielder' with Ruben Amorim considering Atalanta star as his first signing ahead of the January transfer window opening

Manchester United are reportedly considering a move for Atalanta's Brazilian midfielder, Ederson, in what could be Ruben Amorim's first signing at the club.

The newly-appointed Red Devils boss will soon be in a position to launch his recruitment initiative when the January transfer window opens and is expected to make some big calls.

United are towing the line on the Premier League's profit and sustainability rules and face the prospect of needing to sell some players to fund new arrivals.

Marcus Rashford is amongst the most likely candidates to depart Old Trafford midway through the season after publicly declaring his ambitions to leave the club earlier in the week and having been dropped from another matchday squad since.
