Ederson has featured across 40 games in the ongoing campaign so far. In those many games, he has four goals and two assists under his name. He is averaging 1 shot, 0.8 key passes, and 0.7 dribbles per game (stats via whoscored).

The Brazilian midfielder is a typical box-to-box midfielder who is known for his versatility, aggression, and intelligent plays. He contributes in both aspects of the game significantly. He has a strong aerial presence and is a selfless player on the field.

Manchester United need better midfielders

Manchester United face uncertainty over the contunuity of Casemiro and Christian Eriksen. Moreover, Mason Mount has dealt with constant fitness issues. Hence, the club want to strengthen the midfield pack with the acquisition of Ederson.

The Brazilian has been an absolute beast at Atalanta, helping them perform well. He has all the traits to succeed in a top tier club like the Red Devils. He can help Ruben Amorim’s side immensely and help them function far better.
