Manchester United’s summer rebuild appears to be gathering speed, with TuttoJuve reporting growing English confidence over a possible move for Juventus defender Gleison Bremer.
The report arrives as United close in on Atalanta midfielder Ederson, with club to club terms and personal terms said to be agreed for the Brazilian. Michael Carrick’s first permanent summer as head coach is already taking shape, and the theme is clear, more athleticism, more authority and more control through the spine of the side.
