Brazilian midfielder Ederson has dismissed reports that he failed his medical at Manchester United, insisting that he successfully completed the medical before the club pulled out of the transfer deal.
Manchester United had been pursuing the midfielder during the summer but opted against completing the move after conducting his medical during the FIFA World Cup.
Speaking during a media interaction, Ederson denied claims that the proposed transfer collapsed because he failed his medical at the club.
He said that neither he nor his representatives were informed of the reasons behind the club’s decision to abandon the transfer, but expressed his contentment at signing a new contract to remain with Atalanta.

As reported by Sportskeeda, via Yahoo, the Brazilian stated: “I honestly don’t know what transpired. I have always received interest from other clubs, and I could have joined another English team. The medical assessments were satisfactory, but I am uncertain about what occurred.
“I have been with Atalanta for four years and have consistently played. I could have waited to see how things unfolded, but my strong relationship with the club persuaded me to stay and sign a new contract.
“I am very pleased to continue with Atalanta, and I sincerely appreciate the club and Luca Percassi. They reached out to me multiple times, and I felt their support.
“Despite interest from other clubs, after everything that transpired, I believed it was best to remain with those who genuinely wanted me, which has always been Atalanta. I was delighted to wear the jersey that has brought me so much happiness.”
