Ederson’s Shock Brazil Recall Caps £39m Move to Manchester United

Incoming Manchester United midfielder Éderson has earned a late call-up to Brazil’s 2026 World Cup squad. He replaces injured fullback Wesley after the defender’s heartbreaking adductor injury in the recent friendly against Egypt. Coach Carlo Ancelotti opted for an attacking boost rather than a direct defensive replacement. Éderson, 26, impressed at Atalanta last season with three goals and two assists in 41 games. His recall follows his £39 million switch to Old Trafford on a four-year deal. Brazil open their World Cup campaign on June 14 against Morocco, before facing Haiti and Scotland in Group F. Éderson will now join the squad as they finalise preparations for the tournament.
