#1013 | Ed and Dominic discuss United’s deal to sign midfielder Ederson from Atalanta for around £35m plus add-ons. There’s been a muted reaction from fans but his standout physicality and counter-pressing should offer something the squad is missing, although concerns about his limited inventiveness in passing are fair. A useful squad option if United add two more midfielders, with Matheus Fernandes also progressing. There are rumors of United’s interest in Lewis Hall and Marcus Rashford has an uncertain future amid Barcelona’s spending. Finally, 12 United players will be going to World Cup and another 20 or so players and coaches have United connections. 00:00 Ederson Signs! 03:55 Analysing Ederson's Traits 08:10 Arsenal, PSG and the Rivalry 15:55 Matteus Fernandes 20:50 Lewis Hall 24:30 Rashford, Barcelona and Finances 33:29 World Cup Preview: United Connections 34:58 Football Shirts, Kickoff Times and Wrap If you are interested in supporting the show and accessing a weekly exclusive bonus episode, check out our Patreon page or subscribe on Apple Podcasts.
