Manchester United have reportedly discussed one Serie A player wanted by Liverpool.
The Red Devils are having one of their worst seasons in recent history, with a return of 38 points after 33 games that is utterly embarrassing at all levels.
They currently sit in 14th place and have been spared a relegation fight due to the terrible form of the bottom three.
Things are going well for them in Europe, though?
Ruben Amorim has led them to the Europa League semi-final, and should they win the competition, they will qualify for the Champions League next season.
Regardless of how their next few games play out, the Red Devils are reportedly already planning for the summer.
According to the latest report, Man United are considering several names, including two Liverpool targets.
Matheus Cunha is one of the Liverpool-linked players the Red Devils leading the race for his signature.
Another Liverpool-linked player being discussed is Atalanta’s midfielder Ederson José dos Santos Lourenço da Silva, commonly known as Ederson.
The Brazilian star was linked with a move to Liverpool last summer, with football transfer expert Fabrizio Romano confirming that the Reds made contact with him.
Ederson’s stamina and work rate allow him to cover significant ground, making crucial interceptions and contributing to his team’s offensive efforts.
Romano has now revealed that Manchester United have discussed signing him this summer.
“Man United already made contact a few months ago with the player’s camp to show their interest, along with more Premier League clubs, with the race considered absolutely open,” Romano told GiveMeSport.
“In this recent meeting taking place at United, Ederson was discussed as one of the ideal candidates for the position due to his energy, quality, ability to score goals and provide assists, but also his excellent skill in terms of running everywhere around the pitch to help the team in key moments.
“All of this perfectly describes the ideal player for Ruben Amorim, so basically what he built at Sporting before signing for United.”
