Man United latest: £13m transfer bonus boost and what happened with Ederson deal

The summer transfer window has proven deeply frustrating for Manchester United so far. Having surpassed all expectations and been led to a third-place Premier League finish by, at the time, interim head coach Michael Carrick during the second half of last season, expectations going into this summer were huge. Many viewed it as a chance to bring elite talent to Old Trafford after three years out of the Champions League . But things have not panned out that way.

Andrey Santos will join from Chelsea in a £50million deal , though the signing is slightly underwhelming considering the array of top-class midfielders United had been linked with earlier in the window. United lost out on priority targets Elliot Anderson and Mateus Fernandes to Premier League rivals, with the club now potentially facing another transfer setback. Ineos chiefs are still expected to invest funds in multiple signings, though they are battling against the odds to match last summer's success, given the inflated market and competition for elite players. Now, the Manchester Evening News examines two of the latest transfer developments concerning the Old Trafford side. Reports on Friday night sent shockwaves through the Manchester United community as it emerged that Ederson's move from Atalanta was off . The Reds arranged a deal valued at just over £38m and agreed personal terms with the Brazil international before the World Cup began. The 27-year-old even hinted while Brazil were still in the competition that the move was all-but confirmed. However, several outlets claimed on Friday evening that an underlying knee issue derailed the transfer following Ederson's medical examination in the UK, and that the deal had collapsed. But the Manchester Evening News understands the club do not consider the move to be off. United sources have denied the transfer is off, and the feeling internally was that suggesting it had fallen through was to increase the pressure to close the deal. Currently, it remains unclear whether Ederson's transfer will be completed or not. United stand to earn more than £13m if Mason Greenwood secures a move away from Marseille in the coming days. According to ESPN , Fenerbahce and Atletico Madrid have both struck agreements with the French club for the forward's signature. Greenwood left United to join Marseille in July 2024 for a fee of £26.6m. That agreement included a sell-on clause, which is set to be activated if the 24-year-old finalises his move to either of the interested clubs. United would pocket a substantial windfall of €14m (£11.9m) should he choose to relocate to Turkey, or €15.7m (£13.3m) if he heads back to Madrid, having previously spent time on loan at Getafe. That will bolster their transfer funds ahead of what promises to be a hectic summer window.
