After Brazil’s 3-0 win over Haiti in the World Cup, Ederson himself stated that “it’s almost okay”. Manchester United fans are of course excited about what they can expect from the Serie A player. Iconic midfielder Andrea Pirlo reassures United supporters.
Because it is not a given that a Serie A player can handle the transition to the world’s toughest league. United supporters have also seen the club pull out of the race for the signing of three midfielders who have already proven they have cracked the codes in the Premier League. Elliot Anderson ends up at City, while Tottenham snatched up both Mateus Fernandez and Sandro Tonali.
