Manchester United are tracking Nottingham Forest midfielder Elliot Anderson, who is valued at around £100 million ($130.7 million), according to a recent report.
The Red Devils were busy reshaping their squad over the summer, investing heavily in three new forwards and a goalkeeper, but the expectation is that their next headline signing will be a young and energetic midfielder.
Casemiro has rebuilt his reputation after a challenging period, but could leave Old Trafford on a free transfer at the end of the season aged 34. Ruben Amorim recently said his “goal is to continue to count with Casemiro”, but the Brazilian’s vast £350,000 weekly salary could be a factor.
Carlos Baleba has been the prevailing target for United, who were interested in signing the 21-year-old over the summer, before his eye-watering price tag dissuaded the Manchester giants as Brighton & Hove Albion rejected any form of negotiation.
Crystal Palace’s Adam Wharton is another linked, but it could be the Englishman’s compatriot Anderson that United turn their attention to next summer.
