Ederson’s Manchester United transfer collapsed after a failed medical last week, leaving the Brazilian goalkeeper’s future at Old Trafford in doubt as the club accelerates plans to sign Youri Tielemans and Andrey Santos.

Why did Ederson fail his medical? The 27-year-old underwent tests in the UK after a partial medical in the US earlier this month. Reports suggest Manchester United are now considering renegotiating his £38.8m deal due to a knee injury, though no official statement has been made. Ederson had previously told reporters his move was ‘practically all sorted’ before Brazil’s World Cup exit against Norway.

How does this affect Manchester United’s summer? United have already triggered Tielemans’ £35m release clause from Aston Villa, with the Belgian set for a medical on Tuesday. The club also agreed a £50m deal for Chelsea midfielder Andrey Santos on Monday—their first summer signing. With Kobbie Mainoo unavailable for pre-season, the double arrival of Tielemans and Santos could push Ederson further down the pecking order.

What’s next for Ederson? United remain open to signing him, but the window is closing fast. If negotiations stall, Ederson could seek a new club—though his World Cup pedigree (two starts for Brazil) and Old Trafford’s need for a replacement for Casemiro keep him in the frame. For now, the focus shifts to Tielemans, who joins after Belgium’s World Cup heartbreak against Spain.

Who else is joining Manchester United? Ex-Leeds goalkeeper Karl Darlow is expected to arrive as a free agent, while Santos’ arrival marks the start of United’s summer business. With pre-season kicking off this weekend, the club’s midfield reshuffle is now a priority—though Ederson’s status remains the biggest question mark.
