"Manchester United are ready to step up their efforts to sign Nottingham Forest midfielder Elliot Anderson this January, as first reported here for the Daily Briefing. Sources have told me that Man Utd are really keen on Anderson, though they would face paying as much as 70m for the England international. It is also anticipated that they will face particularly strong competition from Manchester City, while Chelsea and Newcastle United will also be names to watch in the race for his signature."
"Anderson is viewed as ideal for United, with key figures at the club all agreeing that he could be a fine addition to their squad. The Red Devils have obvious issues in midfield, with the 22-year-old looking ideal to come in as a long-term replacement for the ageing Casemiro and an upgrade on the unconvincing Manuel Ugarte. As one source told me: United see Anderson as a perfect option and a long-term investment,"
Manchester United are preparing to increase efforts to sign Nottingham Forest midfielder Elliot Anderson in January, with a potential fee of up to 70m. Strong competition is expected from Manchester City, Chelsea and Newcastle United. Anderson has performed well for Forest and is establishing himself as a regular in the England squad. United view him as an ideal long-term midfield option and a potential replacement for the ageing Casemiro and an upgrade on Manuel Ugarte. Club directors and coaches share a unanimous positive view. Anderson may weigh playing-time concerns during a World Cup year before moving.
