@CharZiyanah This you wanting Ederson last year mate?

In August 2024, Manchester United chose Manuel Ugarte over Ederson. Two years later, Ugarte is close to the exit door, as Ederson inches closer to Old Trafford, over a wealth of midfield options. No clubs interested in Ederson besides Atleti who pivoted to Joao Gomes and no place in the Brazil squad either. But good enough for Manchester United says Wilcox! Hopefully Ederson turns out to be a pleasant surprise and surpasses fan expectations. Fans will like his aura, but he will need the quality to back it up.

@CharZiyanah @Sarfo15M Lewis Hall, Matheus Fernandes, Cole Palmer - all crap because no world cup yeah?

1. In case you weren’t aware, Wilcox is the main decider in this Summer’s transfer window. And sources say he highly admires him. We wouldn’t be going for him if Wilcox was against it. 2. If you look back to Fabrizio Romano in August 2024, you’ll see we considered Ederson but then went full focus on Ugarte. 3. Of course international call ups are a reflection when you have a player who has only ever played 2 or 3 times for their country and is nearly 27. Especially when used in conjunction with no other top clubs being interested in him.

@Utd_warrior Taking Dan Burn, Henderson & Djed Spence over Lewis Hall, Trent & Wharton isn’t admirable - it’s retarded.

If Thomas Tuchel managed Manchester United, parts of this fanbase would hate him within months. You want to know why? Because he wouldn’t tolerate or entertain some of the fan favourites at this club.

@UTDKobi Oh look at these valuations I’ve just made up in my head

Wait, Ederson is almost 27 and valued at €50M with Serie A tax. Bruno Guimarães is 28, valued around €60M and already Premier League proven. Why are we not pushing for Bruno G instead? Both Brazilians, but only one is actually going to the World Cup.

@Povey34 He’s more of an 8 than a 6 - nothing like Ugarte.

If he's an Ugarte replacement as the 3rd CM and below £30m then fine. If it's 1 of only 2 then I'm worried.

@NoushardMUFC Don’t take the opinions of the social media idiots and generalise about the whole fanbase.

Ederson might genuinely be the one signing almost the entire Manchester United fanbase agrees they do not want. No hype. No excitement. No buzz around him at all. Maybe that’s because nobody really knows him like that outside Serie A circles. No flashy comps. No social media propaganda. Just silence. Meanwhile INEOS and the Glazers have pushed the deal so far that Atalanta were reportedly ready to leave him out of a crucial game. That does not happen unless negotiations are deep. But now United suddenly look unsure about whether to go through with it. And that is the embarrassing part. This is not some random player United discovered last week. They have reportedly scouted Ederson for 2–3 years. So why does it suddenly feel like they are waiting for fan approval before making a decision? That is not how serious football clubs operate. Trust your scouts. Trust your recruitment team. Trust your football structure. Stop moving based on social media reactions. Because the same fanbase that is now doubting Ederson was hyping Onana and Ugarte like world class signings. Look how that turned out. Football decisions cannot be made off YouTube compilations and online excitement. If the club truly believes Ederson is the right player, sign him. If not, walk away. But this constant hesitation and panic over fan reaction is exactly why United keep looking lost in the market.

@Suarndo We used to go into windows saying we had all the money in the world & get ripped off by everyone. Now we are actually sensible with money & fans still complain.

It's always the excuse for Ineos

@Suarndo Midfield is the priority - Liverpool are replacing Salah - we are replacing Casemiro. What’s your point?

Look at manchester united targets going to rival clubs. That's best in class mentality

@FortuneJrV1 When did man united will never die become ‘its never been more over’ because we are linked with a midfielder

Holy shit man it’s never been more over, SACK WANKCOX, NUKE INEOS

@UtdBart @josueaceves925 Went from 15th to 3rd - all four signings last summer were a hit and you’re complaining before the window even opens. Have a day off mate

@josueaceves925 “War chest” is hilarious, go and look at the players we sign when we get UCL football. Mount, Onana, Hojlund, Amarabat, Evans, Reguilon, Bayindir, Van De Beek, Telles, Pellistri, Fred, Dalot, Lee Grant… Only Ronaldo, Varane and Sancho were great signings at the time.

Bottled sacking Ten Hag, gave him a contract extension and then sacked him mid season. Brought in his replacement who was getting “3 years” only to sack him after 11 months. Then hired an interim who “wouldn’t be getting the job permanently” to then hiring him permanently… 🚮

@UtdBart Just left the whole bit about him actually winning games out then yeah? Beat every top team in England in the past 6 months.

@MUFCFrontline 12 goals 9 assists in the Bundesliga 🤷‍♂️

His stats and ratings this season look absolutely terrifying. I hope he goes anywhere else but Pool.

@utdrobbo Is this you mate?

Got to love that the main defence for Ederson is that, because he's expected to be the third midfield signing, it's okay that he's not going to be good enough to start or contribute. What a smart way to build a squad...

@ReDevil_UTD This is the worst take I’ve ever read

This meme of Maguire is the only reason why people think he’s “cool” and created the myth he’s a top player. This meme cost Man Utd £80m. Reality - he’s never been more than a bang average premier league CB no better than James Tarkowski

@Tayzar2125 @UtdActive

@UtdActive Wilcox is a f***ing clown. He’s destroying our club with C-class players. He pushed for Ugarte, Zirkzee, and now Ederson. His talent ID is absolutely shit

We are going nowhere with Jason Wilcox as the recruitment lead.

@UtdActive What the actual fuck are you on about?

@UtdMicah This you mate?

Best in class ownership & recruitment qualify for the Champions League & first signing is a bloke Atleti have signed a Wolves player instead of, who has one year left on his deal & has 3 Brazil caps at 27 years old. Absolutely pathetic & people need to be sacked when this fails.

@ksenguptaa What has this club become. Man United will never die has somehow become ‘we are done’ after we sign a serie a midfielder most people haven’t seen play.

This supposed to be one of his better games? Yeah we’re done

@YanitedCynical Matheus Fernandes & Lewis Hall aren’t going to the WC either - we not wanting them either?

We’re signing a 27 year old Serie A midfielder that can’t even get into the worst Brazilian team of all time… yep it’s over

@kheengChocco @BorisBelawiz @LiamPaulCanning Lewis Hall didn’t make the England team and Dan Burn did - what’s your point?

@BorisBelawiz @LiamPaulCanning He didn’t even make the Brazil national team that a washed Fabinho made 🤦🏽‍♂️

So much negative discourse on Ederson. For those who watch him regularly for Atalanta, what's the genuine consensus on the type of player he is?
