--><!-- No AdsNinja v10 Client! --><\/p>\n<p>Man United are set to sign a new central midfielder in 2026, with Nottingham Forest&#8217;s Elliott Anderson emerging as a key target, with the club expressing interest in signing the England international earlier this week.<\/p>\n<p>However, Anderson has become such an important player for both club and country that getting him a deal over the line is likely to require a huge bid, with Forest expected to stick with a transfer fee of around \u00a3100m to \u00a3120m.<\/p>\n<p>It remains to be seen whether the Red Devils are willing to break their previous transfer record and sign the 23-year-old, but if INEOS deems the deal too expensive, there could be more affordable alternative options.<\/p>\n<p>    <!-- No AdsNinja v10 Client!

The United academy product has already scored twice in the Champions League this season.<\/p>\n<p>However, re-signing the former player could be seen as a setback, given that he failed to reach similar heights during his time at Old Trafford and was regularly criticized for his performances.<\/p>\n<p>Ruben Amorim may therefore be better off focusing on other targets, and with Anderson, Carlos Bareva, Javi Guerra and Alex Scott all on the shortlist, there is no shortage of exciting options.<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"how-much-man-utd-are-ready-to-spend-on-carlos-baleba-with-talks-now-open\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Negotiations_have_now_begun_over_how_much_Manchester_United_are_prepared_to_pay_for_Carlos_Baleva\"><\/span>\n            <strong>Negotiations have now begun over how much Manchester United are prepared to pay for Carlos Baleva<\/strong><br \/>\n    <span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Manchester United have a &#8220;specific interest&#8221; in signing Scott McTominay, with the midfielder also being targeted by Barcelona, \u200b\u200band it has been revealed that Napoli are in a position to approve a move.
