Brazil HubBrazil's national team suffered an early elimination in the 2026 World Cup. Brazil lost to Norway 2-1 in the last round of the knockout stage.
What happened?
The loss occurred on Sunday evening, with Ederson coming on as a substitute in the 79th minute. The 27-year-old player will now return home from North America.
Why does it matter for Brazil?
Manchester United had agreed to transfer Ederson for around £35 million earlier in the summer, but the finalization of the transfer was postponed after the player's call-up to the Brazilian national team.
| Date | Team | Opponent | Result |
|---|---|---|---|
| Sunday | Brazil | Norway | 1-2 |
What comes next?
With Brazil's campaign now over, Ederson is set to undergo medical examinations with Manchester United before completing the transfer. He will become Michael Carrick's first signing as permanent head coach and will boost a midfield depleted by the exit of teammate Casemiro.
The player is expected to join the team in the coming days, after completing the medical exams. The transfer is expected to be finalized soon, with Ederson becoming an important reinforcement for Manchester United.
