"Manchester United are increasingly confident that they can strike a bargain transfer deal for Nottingham Forest central midfielder Elliot Anderson, as reported here for the Daily Briefing. The Red Devils look to be really keen on Anderson, and there's the sense that the England international would also be open to the move to Old Trafford. This has perhaps given Man Utd some degree of confidence that they can reach an agreement with Forest for below the 100m figure"
"Anderson has also been linked with United, and with other big clubs such as Liverpool, by the Times, who are among the outlets to state that the 23-year-old's value is around 100m. However, my information before was that 70m might be realistic, and sources now state that United feel they could even get him for slightly less than that. Manchester United's optimism over Elliot Anderson transfer Financially, the situation is complex, one source told me."
"Anderson is under contract with Forest until 2029, giving the club strong leverage. Internally, the club believes Anderson's value could exceed 100 million if his development continues.

Another added: Anderson is open to a move to Old Trafford he's drawn by the chance to play on the biggest stage and join one of the big six."
Manchester United believe they can sign Nottingham Forest midfielder Elliot Anderson for significantly less than the £100m valuation cited by some outlets. Sources previously suggested a £70m figure, and United feel they could negotiate a fee even below that, with confidence that around £60m could trigger talks. Anderson remains under contract with Forest until 2029, giving Forest leverage, and Forest internally think his value could rise above £100m if development continues. Other big clubs, including Liverpool and Chelsea, are interested, and United see Anderson as a midfield upgrade who would receive substantial playing time.
