Man United reportedly decided to pull out of a deal to sign Ederson in order to switch their attention to a move for Roma midfielder Manu Kone.
Michael Carrick’s side looked set to sign Ederson, 27, from Atlantan for a reported £35 million as part of their midfield rebuild.
It has since been widely reported that the deal has collapsed, and Ederson is now expected to remain in Italy.
According to Sky Italia (via [a href="https://football-italia.net/manu-kone-manchester-united-excuse-ederson/#google_vignette"]Football Italia[/a]), the real reason behind Man United’s change of heart is Roma’s Kone rather than the initially reported fitness concerns.
It’s understood that United have now switcher their attention to the France international and will now prioritise a move for Kone.

Get Ederson first cause the deal is done with the performance of Kone at world cup you will be in bidding wars with some of the top club in Europe and be ready for 100++million player you could end up without both of them

Utd has lost a fair deal, now Roma will ask for £100m, and Newcastle will pursue Ederson
