Manchester United have reportedly made contact with Nottingham Forest to explore a potential deal for midfielder Elliot Anderson, according to transfer expert Florian Plettenberg. The Red Devils are said to have expressed concrete interest in the 23-year-old England international, who has rapidly emerged as one of the Premier League's standout performers this season. Sources close to the situation reveal that Forest have set a steep price tag in the range of 100 million to 120 million, reflecting Anderson's rising importance to the club.
According to Goal.com, Manchester United are very much interested in signing Federico Valverde from Real Madrid, and to that end, they're willing to offer the services of Kobbie Mainoo to the Spanish giants. But Real, who have indeed been keeping an eye on Mainoo as they form their plans to rebuild their midfield section after the departures of Toni Kroos and Luka Modric, have no intention of selling Valverde in the foreseeable future.
Manchester United are understood to have failed with a surprise attempt to sign Paris Saint-Germain striker Randal Kolo Muani. The France international, valued at around 60m by PSG, still favours a permanent transfer to Juventus, sources with links to the agents industry have informed CaughtOffside. Kolo Muani spent time on loan at Juve last season and is keen to return there, though the Serie A giants have so far been unable to reach an agreement with PSG.
