World Cup call likely to delay Ederson's Man Utd arrival

[Getty Images] Ederson's call up to Brazil's World Cup squad is likely to mean a tweak to Manchester United's plans to confirm the midfielder's arrival from Serie A outfit Atalanta. The 26-year-old was due to have his medical at the beginning of next month before his £35m switch to United was announced just before the start of pre-season training. However, Ederson's call-up as replacement for defender Wesley on Sunday means he will now be spending the next few weeks in the United States. Brazil are one of the favourites for the tournament and it would be no surprise if they were still involved right to the end on 19 July. While it is possible Ederson could have his medical on World Cup duty, the more likely scenario would be for him to do it immediately after his international commitments are over, before heading off on a mandatory three-week break. It means the midfielder might not be around until a couple of weeks before the Premier League campaign begins, probably the week-long training camp in Maynooth.
