Ex-Man United target reveals confusion over reason transfer fell apart
Ederson says medical tests went well before United pulled the plug and later signed other midfielders, including Youri Tielemans for £40 million.
- Atalanta midfielder Ederson revealed he still does not know why his transfer to Manchester United collapsed last month, despite completing his medical examination.
- Manchester United abruptly ended the transfer despite an agreement with Atalanta, subsequently prioritizing Youri Tielemans from Aston Villa in a deal worth £40million.
- "I honestly don't know what happened," Ederson explained ahead of Atalanta's UEFA Europa Conference League play-off against Hapoel Tel-Aviv, noting his medical tests went well.
- Having returned to Atalanta, Ederson signed a new contract with the club he has represented for four years, as CEO Luca Percassi maintained communication to convince him to stay.
- United moved to bolster their squad by signing Andrey Santos from Chelsea and is pursuing Brighton's Carlos Baleba to address central midfield needs following Manuel Ugarte's injury at the World Cup.
