However, Plettenberg reports that United hold the Dea midfielder in high regard and could consider making a move next month.

Ederson currently has two and a half years remaining on his current Atalanta contract, which runs until the summer of 2027.

He has not yet expressed any vocal desire to leave the club, and is currently enjoying a hot run of form in both Serie A and the Champions League.

Atalanta have just picked up their 10th consecutive victory in the league and are currently the standalone leaders at the top of the Serie A table. Though Atalanta were beaten 3-2 by Real Madrid in the Champions League last time out, Ederson earned praise for his energetic, pressing performance.
