Manchester United are confident of landing two of their top midfield targets this summer.

The Red Devils have been linked with several targets since Casemiro announced his departure earlier this season, and one of those is Atalanta's Ederson

According to reports, Ederson is open to joining Man Utd this summer to complete a dream move to the Premier League. Atalanta want £40 million for their midfield machine as they aim to offload him before his contract expires in June 2027. 

United are also looking closer to home to add more quality to their engine room, and Newcastle United superstar Sandro Tonali is on their radar. 

Unlike Ederson, Newcastle are protected by the Italian's contract running until the summer of 2029 and the Magpies current asking price is £87m, as per Corriere della Sera

Encouragingly for supporters, Gianluca Di Marzio has revealed that Man United have "confidence" in securing a double deal for the midfield talents.

Latest reports indicate that they would cost in the region of £127m, and that is just slightly more than Elliot Anderson's asking price alone. 

Therefore, it could be worth Man United striking early for Ederson and Tonali to get ahead of their Premier League rivals in the market.
