  "textContent": "Carrick desperate to bolster his midfield options (Picture: Getty Images)\n\nManchester United have made an offer for Botafogo midfielder Danilo, according to reports in Brazil.\n\nWith Casemiro set to depart Old Trafford, United have made rebuilding their midfield a top priority this summer with the club hoping to sign at least two new players in that position.\n\nElliot Anderson and Aurelien Tchouameni are thought to be at the top of a shortlist that also includes Carlos Baleba, Sandro Tonali and Adam Wharton among others.\n\nThe club are also on the brink of signing Ederson from Atalanta with talks over a £38million move the 26-year-old close to being finalised.\n\n##  The countdown is on\n\nOur seven-day guide to the World Cup is live. 48 teams, 104 games, 1104 players – we've got everything you need to know. Sign up now.\n\nUnited have now been linked with another Brazilian, one who was selected by Carlo Ancelotti for this summer’s World Cup ahead of Ederson.\n\nUOL reports United are one of four teams to have made offers for the 25-year-old along with Milan, Atalanta and Zenit St Petersburg.\n\nBotafogo expect his value to increase further this summer at the World Cup with the club reluctant to rush into final decision over his future.\n\nDanilo had two seasons at Nottingham Forest (Picture: Getty)\n\nPalmeiras and Flamengo are also monitoring the situation but Danilo’s preference is believed to be to return to Europe.\n\nThe Brazil international has already had a stint in the Premier League, joining Nottingham Forest in 2023 in a deal worth £18m.\n\nDanilo had been linked with a move to Arsenal before making the switch to the City Ground but the club opted to sell him just two years later.\n\nEderson has agreed personal terms to join United (Picture: Getty)\n\nDanilo made 34 appearances in his first season for Forest but suffered a devastating ankle injury on the opening day of the 2024-25 season. He returned to action midway through the campaign to help Forest secure a seventh-place finish before being sold to Botafogo for £21m.\n\nUnited meanwhile have agreed personal terms with Ederson who is poised to become the first signing of the Michael Carrick era.\n\nForest star Anderson is the club’s first choice target but the England international is believed to favour a move to Manchester City.\n\nComment now Comments \nAdd Metro as a Preferred Source on Google\nAdd as preferred source\n",
