- Manchester United reached an agreement with Atalanta to sign Brazilian midfielder Ederson for $49.6 million up front, with a further $4 million in potential add-ons.
- United qualifying for the Champions League under interim head coach Michael Carrick convinced Ederson to move to Old Trafford as the club targeted him to bolster midfield depth.
- Former England head coach Fabio Capello described Ederson as "out of this world," while the midfielder averaged 81 minutes per game across 30 appearances for Atalanta this season.
