The 26-year old Brazilian international represents the first permanent signing under the footballing direction of newly reappointed head coach Michael Carrick, who has been tasked with executing a comprehensive squad rebuild.
Ederson enjoyed a highly successful period in Italy, winning the Europa League and showcasing the precise defensive discipline, physical power, and distribution range needed to operate at the highest level of European competition.
United moved swiftly to secure the playmaker ahead of competing interest from prominent continental rivals, utilizing their guaranteed Champions League qualification to seal the agreement.
