Various outlets are reporting that Elliot Anderson is Manchester United’s primary target next summer. However, they will face competition from Manchester City.

That is why they have now made a firm decision on signing Elliot Anderson. The Red Devils also have other midfield targets on their list.

They are looking at the likes of Carlos Baleba, Adam Wharton, Sandro Tonali, Bruno Guimaraes, Amadou Onana, and Joao Gomes.

Recently, they have also made a decision to walk away from making a move for one of their key targets because of the cost associated with the deal.

That is why they are now focusing on other targets, and Elliot Anderson has emerged as a primary target for the Red Devils.

Now, according to talkSPORT, Nottingham Forest have not received any official bid for the player yet. And their owner, Evangelos Marinakis, is quite relaxed about the situation.

He is hoping that Anderson has a good World Cup, which will propel his price in the transfer market.

Also, if Forest win the Europa League and qualify for the Champions League, it will also amplify his price tag.

Now, Elliot Anderson’s preferred destination is reportedly Manchester City. The former Newcastle United midfielder would like to join the Citizens.

That is why Manchester United have made a firm decision to make a move for the midfielder. The Red Devils will only make a move if they get an indication that Anderson wants to join them.

So, next summer, Manchester United will be highly active in signing midfielders. However, as for Anderson, he needs to indicate that he wants a switch to Old Trafford for United to make a move.
