Man Utd eyeing double swoop for Atalanta stars as scouts are deployed to run rule over midfielder Ederson and attacker Mateo Retegui

Per TuttoAtalanta, United sent scouts to watch Atalanta against AC Milan, with the focus being both Ederson and Retegui. The club are said to have initiated contact with the entourages of both players, as Ruben Amorim aims to rebuild his squad in his own image in the summer window.

Ederson is a Brazil international and is central to the Serie A side's tactical approach, making 44 appearances in all competitions and scoring five goals in all competitions. Retegui, by comparison, has been on fire, and has scored 23 league goals in 31 games while also providing nine assists. The latter only arrived at Atalanta in the summer, joining from Genoa in a €28 million (£24m/$32m) deal, so the Serie A club are almost guaranteed to turn a significant profit if United formalise their interest.

Ederson has also been linked with Manchester City, and Atalanta are facing up to the prospect of losing more than one first-team star this summer, as Ademola Lookman has also been linked away. Liverpool are reported to be interested in the winger.

Atalanta are third in Serie A and their next fixture comes against relegation-threatened Lecce this weekend. United, by comparison, play Bournemouth this weekend.
