Manchester United are reportedly considering Atalanta midfielder Ederson as an option for Erik ten Hag in the summer.

The Brazilian has impressed in Serie A this season and has been a key starter for Gian Piero Gasperini. According to One Football, five other English top-flight clubs are interested in the 24-year-old.

In addition to United, Liverpool, Arsenal, Tottenham and Newcastle are all mentioned as interested parties in Ederson in the summer, while Juventus have been following him for some time. However, it is said that Atalanta will not entertain offers under the EUR40million (PS34m) mark while the Italian outfit are in no urgent need to sell after cashing in PS72m from the sale of Rasmus Hojlund last year.

Speaking about the interest from clubs, Ederson told Globo: "This topic always comes up. When the transfer window approaches, it's the same with the majority of players and it was no different with me. I think this time it was because I'm experiencing one of my best moments in my career at Atalanta today.

"It's something players talk about a lot but it's something that I've learned to leave to my agents, who will then pass it on to me, otherwise you are creating unnecessary hopes. Many things during the window, you don't know what is true and what is a lie, what could be happening."

Elsewhere, United are said to be prepared to make an offer for Juventus defender Gleison Bremer in the summer. The Brazilian, 26, has been strongly linked with a move to Old Trafford in recent weeks.

United are understood to be planning a massive overhaul of players at the end of the season, while six players will also be out of contract. Raphael Varane is one of those players, while Victor Lindelof and Harry Maguire could also be moved on.

According to a new report by Italian outlet Gazzetta dello Sport, United see the Brazilian as a 'fundamental reinforcement' for next season. They add that a fee in excess of EUR60million (PS51m) would be difficult for Juve to turn down.

In addition, Get Football News claim that the Serie A giants have already started looking at potential replacements and the likes of Bologna's Riccardo Calafiori, Atletico Madrid's Reinildo Mandava, Bournemouth's Llyod Kelly and Strahinja Pavlovic of Salzburg have been assessed as options.
