Overview
- Multiple outlets on Thursday report that Manchester United plan a formal approach to Nottingham Forest for 23-year-old Elliot Anderson, citing GiveMeSport’s Ben Jacobs.
- Elliot Anderson is described in the reports as United’s top option to replace Casemiro as the club plans a summer reset in midfield.
- Forest are expected to demand a very high fee, with some reports suggesting a price that could reach about £125 million.
- Manchester City are seen as the main competitor for the player, with United’s place in next season’s Champions League presented as a possible pull.
- The timing is linked to Forest confirming Premier League safety, and no bid or agreement has been confirmed with club-to-club talks only anticipated at this stage.
