"Manchester United's midfield rebuild has taken a fresh twist. After failing to land Brighton's Carlos Baleba before the window closed, the club have shifted focus to Elliot Anderson, with new head coach Ruben Amorim pushing for a comprehensive overhaul in the centre of the park. United had been monitoring Adam Wharton of Crystal Palace while revisiting their interest in Baleba, but multiple reports now indicate Anderson has vaulted to the top of the shortlist."
"United need a more dynamic and athletic midfield presence. The inability to close a deal for Baleba left a glaring vacancy, one that Anderson's versatility could fill. Comfortable as an advanced No.8, a high-intensity presser from the right interior channel, or a ball-carrying option who links play through the half-spaces, he matches the Portuguese coach's template for a modern midfielder. According to The Mirror, United are now considering a move for the England international."

Anderson made his England debut in September, has four senior caps, and is tipped for a World Cup place. Anderson can cover roles should Bruno Fernandes leave or Casemiro depart next summer.
