The agreement provides €40.5 million upfront, €4.5 million in add-ons and a five-year (four-plus-one) contract.
Ederson cannot be registered until early July because FIFA’s international clearance uses a July 1 benchmark.
United plan to add two or three midfielders after Casemiro’s departure and are also targeting a left-back and left-winger for a tighter Champions League schedule.
