A Manchester United scout is considering a talented Brazilian player as a potential successor for Casemiro, who is known for his exceptional abilities.

Manchester United have conducted a scouting operation on Ederson, a prominent player from Atalanta, in preparation for a possible transfer of the Brazilian midfielder over the upcoming summer.

On Tuesday, there were reports of Manchester United expressing interest in signing Mikel Merino, a talented midfielder from Real Sociedad.

United will evaluate numerous midfield candidates in order to potentially replace two midfielders.

Casemiro’s performance this season has noticeably declined, while Sofyan Amrabat has not demonstrated sufficient ability to warrant converting his loan into a permanent move.

Manchester United may need to find replacements for both players and have been closely examining a potential successor for Casemiro.

Manchester United is actively observing Ederson, a player from Atalanta.
According to The Daily Mail, Manchester United observed Atalanta’s midfielder Ederson on Sunday.

United dispatched a scout to Turin while Atalanta secured a 2-2 draw against Juventus.

Teun Koopmeiners scored two goals for Atalanta, but it was his teammate Ederson, who plays in midfield, who Manchester United was interested in.
