Manchester United Assess Nottingham Forest’s Ibrahim Sangare as Casemiro Successor

The club view the Forest midfielder as an affordable No.6 option compared with £100m-rated Elliot Anderson.

Overview

  • United’s recruitment staff have been impressed by Sangare as a defensive-midfield option, according to GiveMeSport reports echoed by journalist Steve Bates.
  • Sangare moved from PSV to Forest for about £30m in 2023, is under contract until 2028, and carries a Transfermarkt valuation of roughly €22m.
  • Elliot Anderson remains widely reported as United’s marquee target near the £100m mark, though adding Sangare would fit plans to sign multiple midfielders.
  • The 28-year-old is profiled as a duel-winning, ground-covering No.6 whose work has enabled Anderson to play higher up the pitch for Forest.
