Ederson signing close

Man Utd are on the verge of completing the signing of Atalanta midfielder Ederson, according to Sky Sports.

Personal terms are already in place with the Brazil international, and discussions between the two clubs have entered the final stages. The fee is expected to be an initial amount of €40.5 million guaranteed, plus €3.5m in add-ons.

Ederson is set to become the first signing of the Michael Carrick era and the first of at least two midfield arrivals. He will nominally replace Casemiro, who is leaving on a free transfer.

Fernandez won't give Man Utd a shot at Anderson

Recent reports of Man City's interest in Chelsea midfielder Enzo Fernandez will have given Man Utd hope of landing Nottingham Forest star Elliot Anderson, but this hope has already been crushed.

Numerous outlets, including Sky Sports, have clearly been briefed by Man City that the links with Fernandez are wide of the mark. Despite the impending arrival of Enzo Maresca, City claim that they have no interest in Fernandez.

Instead, Anderson remains the club's top priority, with talks in full swing for several weeks already. The Forest midfielder is said to be leaning towards a move to the Etihad, leaving Man Utd chasing shadows.

Jacquet reveals Man Utd snub

Stade Rennais centre-back Jeremy Jacquet has revealed that Man Utd were one of the clubs he turned down in the January transfer window.

The Frenchman looked poised to join Chelsea over the winter, with the Blues trying to agree a deal with Rennes for several weeks, but he ultimately opted to move to Liverpool instead.

Man Utd were also linked with Jacquet at the time, and he has now confirmed to Ouest-France that he turned down a move to Old Trafford. "I heard [Liverpool] arrived at the last minute, but that's not true. I'd been talking to them for a long time," he said.

"There were other clubs too," Jacquet added. When asked about United, he said: "For example, but also other clubs that haven't been mentioned. It didn't happen in a week."

All change for Rashford?

Marcus Rashford's future has taken a fresh twist following the news that Barcelona are now pushing hard for the signing of Newcastle winger Anthony Gordon.

Fabrizio Romano reports that terms with the England star have already been agreed, following a meeting with Blaugrana director Deco. Gordon is keen on the move and is prioritising Barcelona.

Although Romano insists that this does not automatically mean that a deal for Rashford is off the table, it does raise questions about the Man Utd loanee. Barcelona are currently in talks over a whopping €80m package for Gordon.
