Elliot Anderson, a 23-year-old defensive midfielder at Nottingham Forest, is being pursued by Manchester United as a potential replacement for Casemiro. Manchester United want a midfielder who can protect the defence and win the ball back in central areas. Manchester City are reported to be the frontrunners, needing additional depth in midfield due to Rodri’s injury issues and seeking another specialist defensive midfielder. Fabrizio Romano reports that Manchester United have been in contact with Anderson about a possible move, while City continue making approaches and believe they can secure a significant contract offer. Anderson’s next club could be either Manchester United or Manchester City, with both offering Champions League football.
"Don't forget that Manchester City also keep pushing to sign Elliot Anderson from Nottingham Forest. They are aware of Manchester United still calling and calling, but Manchester City are still pushing. I told you in March that they have always been favourites to sign Elliot Anderson. They made up their mind on it. They have already made some approaches because they want to offer a really important contract to the player."
"So, Man City believe they can really tempt Elliot Anderson, and then this has not changed, also with Enzo Maresca, City are going for Anderson. It's not only with Guardiola. Now with Maresca, City are still going for him. Let's see what happens with Nottingham Forest, with Man Utd still trying and calling."
"Anderson is one of the best midfielders in the league, and he could prove an asset to both Manchester clubs. He will want to compete at a high-level and fight for trophies. Both clubs will be able to provide him with Champions League football next season, and it will be interesting to see where he ends up."
