In addition to Ederson, United are closing in on young midfielder Cristian Orozco. Orozco is set to join once he officially becomes eligible at 18, after a pre-agreed deal with Fortaleza CEIF that stalled due to his age. United’s scouting noted strong potential in Orozco, who already featured for Fortaleza’s first team and attended tours of Carrington and Old Trafford.
The club, led by Michael Carrick, is expected to complete multiple signings this summer, with other targets including players from West Ham and a broader strategic push to reinforce the midfield ahead of European competition next season.
