"According to TEAMtalk, while Forest have managed to fend off interest in Anderson during the January transfer window, the 23-year-old's departure this summer now 'looks a certainty'. Forest appear unlikely to keep hold of the midfielder regardless of whether they secure Premier League survival, with both Man City and United keen on landing him."
"United view Anderson as a priority transfer target and are willing to meet Forest's asking price to ensure they win the race for his signature. A move north of £100m would make Anderson the club's most expensive signing ever, surpassing the £89.3m paid to sign Paul Pogba in 2016."
"Looking to overhaul their midfield this summer, United could bring in Anderson as a replacement for Casemiro, whose contract expires after the season. The Brazil international has announced he will be departing Old Trafford at the end of his agreement, following a three-year spell at the club."
Manchester United have identified Elliot Anderson as their top transfer target for the upcoming summer window and are prepared to meet Nottingham Forest's asking price exceeding £100m. Anderson, who joined Forest from Newcastle United for £35m in 2024, is attracting significant interest from multiple Premier League clubs, with Manchester City emerging as strong rivals. Forest are expected to lose Anderson regardless of their league survival prospects. A transfer fee above £100m would make Anderson United's most expensive signing, surpassing Paul Pogba's £89.3m transfer in 2016. United view Anderson as a potential replacement for Casemiro, whose contract expires at season's end.
