Manchester United are planning ahead for a major summer window under Ruben Amorim, with recruitment strategies aimed at strengthening the midfield and defence.
Their scouting department has been actively monitoring Serie A, with a specific eye on Champions League-bound clubs, as Amorim looks for quality signings that can perform at the highest level.
The Red Devils are expected to part ways with several senior players at the end of the season, freeing up space in the squad and wage budget for new arrivals.
With Champions League football still within reach, United’s management is pushing to reinforce the squad with players already accustomed to top-tier European competition.
And while United’s performances in the Europa League have drawn praise, the club’s long-term planning continues in the background, especially with a focus on dynamic midfielders who can adapt to Amorim’s system.
One player firmly on United’s radar is Ederson of Atalanta, as per Il Giorno.
The Brazilian has been a standout figure in Serie A this season, playing a key role in helping La Dea close in on a return to the Champions League.
Fresh off a vital victory against Bologna, Atalanta now hold a four-point cushion in fourth place and face a favourable run-in that could cement their European status.

But behind the scenes, the club is already preparing for a summer of major sales, particularly to English clubs.
John Murtough, the former Manchester United football director, has just taken up a role at Atalanta as their new Director of Global Development.
His Premier League connections, including his long-standing presence at Old Trafford, put United in a strong position to negotiate.
Atalanta know the English market well, having already sold Rasmus Hojlund and Amad Diallo to United in big-money moves.
Ederson could be the next to follow, with the Red Devils reportedly making initial moves to secure him ahead of Manchester City, who have also expressed interest.
Ederson isn’t the only name on United’s radar from the Bergamo side, but he’s seen as a key piece in Amorim’s tactical evolution.
Atalanta’s openness to selling to the Premier League adds further optimism for a deal.
United fans will be watching closely as the Bergamo-England transfer axis continues to heat up this summer.
