Manchester United is interested in Nottingham Forest’s Elliot Anderson as they seek to strengthen their midfield but will not engage in a bidding war with Manchester City for the 23-year-old. Forest is asking for around £120 million, a price United deems inflated despite their financial capacity. The club has shifted its transfer strategy under co-owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe and is considering alternative midfield targets if Anderson is unattainable. Anderson, a key player for Forest since 2024, has made 86 appearances and is recognized for his significant contributions on the field.
