Manchester United are looking to sign a midfielder this season. And the player they are primarily looking at is Elliot Anderson.
Now, when you hear a Nottingham Forest player getting linked to Manchester United, you will imagine Elliot Anderson.
But in this case, Manchester United have identified an alternative to Elliot Anderson. And the player also plays for Nottingham Forest.
Look, United are looking for a player who can replace Casemiro. This season, the Brazilian has been fantastic.
But he has decided to end his time with Manchester United after the end of this season. Now, United will be looking for a holding midfielder.
They wanted Elliot Anderson. However, the England international has made Manchester City his preferred destination next season.
That is why the Red Devils might have to look for other options. They do have the likes of Carlos Baleba and Adama Wharton on their list of targets.
They have also included an Aston Villa star on their list of midfield targets. Now, another Nottingham Forest midfielder joins that list.
According to GIVEMESPORT, Manchester United are now looking to sign Ibrahim Sangare. The 28-year-old has been a consistent performer for the Premier League side.
As United want to find a player with Premier League experience, Sangare ticks that box. That is why INEOS would love to sign him.
So, it will be interesting to see whether they would place a bid for the player, as they are tracking multiple midfielders this summer.
🚨 Manchester United have been impressed by Nottingham Forest’s Ivory Coast midfielder Ibrahim Sangare in their search for a replacement for Brazil international Casemiro.
The 28-year old has starred for Forest alongside United’s main midfield target Elliot Anderson.
