Ederson extends Atalanta stay
Manchester United target Ederson has signed a new contract with Serie A side Atalanta.

The former Cruzeiro and Corinthians player joined Atalanta in 2022 and has made 180 appearances across all competitions, scoring 16 goals.
Rooney: Guardiola the only alternative option out there for England
Wayne Rooney believes Thomas Tuchel should remain as England manager unless the FA can bring in Pep Guardiola.
An inquest is under way after the two-time European Championship runners-up spurned the chance to reach a second ever mens World Cup final with their semi-final collapse against rivals Argentina.
Tuchels position has been widely criticised for his decision-making in Wednesdays 2-1 loss as England retreated and lost in a manner that became all too familiar on the big occasions under Sir Gareth Southgate.
Your Site News understands the FA are not consideringThomas Tuchel's position and as of now, he is set to be in charge for Euro 2028 after signing a two-year contract extension before the World Cup.
Former England skipper Rooney believes Tuchel should be kept on unless ex-Manchester City boss Guardiola, somebody the governing body had spoken to previously, would come in.
I dont see anyone else out there at the minute, unless you go and get Pep Guardiola, Rooney said on the Wayne Rooney Show. If Pep is available, then maybe you go and get him.
I think he is a top-class manager and what the top managers do, they learn from the mistakes and they improve and get better.
If we sack him, what managers are we going to bring in? And I dont think theres anyone out there whos as good as Thomas Tuchel, unless Guardiola.
But the big thing for me is hes not experienced at World Cups. We had the exact same with (Fabio) Capello.
The World Cup is different and you need to feel that environment and now hes felt it.
