United have reached an agreement with Atalanta to sign Ederson in a deal worth a total of £38 million, according to Sky Sports.
The Red Devils are set to pay an initial fee of £34m (€40.5m/$45.7m) for the 26-year-old, with a further £3.8m (€4.5m/$5m) structured in potential add-ons.
The deal is expected to be finalised before July, provided the player successfully completes his medical examinations at Carrington.
The Brazilian international is set to sign a four-year contract at Old Trafford, which includes a club option to extend the stay for an additional 12 months.
This breakthrough comes after a period of sustained interest from United, who have long identified the former Salernitana man as a priority target to inject much-needed dynamism into their tactical setup under Carrick.
