However, he will have to pay \u00a3100m to get the deal done. They need to improve in other areas of the team as well. Spending \u00a3100m on a midfielder might not be a wise decision. Rather, the priority should be improving defensive ability. They also need a reliable finisher who can find the back of the net on a regular basis.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"p1\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Manchester_United_need_Anderson\"><\/span>Manchester United need Anderson<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<figure class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><picture><source type=\"image\/webp\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/icdn.caughtoffside.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Elliot-Anderson-in-action-for-Nottingham-Forest-414x311.jpg.webp 414w,https:\/\/icdn.caughtoffside.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Elliot-Anderson-in-action-for-Nottingham-Forest-630x473.jpg.webp 630w,https:\/\/icdn.caughtoffside.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Elliot-Anderson-in-action-for-Nottingham-Forest-768x576.jpg.webp 768w,https:\/\/icdn.caughtoffside.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Elliot-Anderson-in-action-for-Nottingham-Forest-770x578.jpg.webp 770w,https:\/\/icdn.caughtoffside.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Elliot-Anderson-in-action-for-Nottingham-Forest-900x675.jpg.webp 900w,https:\/\/icdn.caughtoffside.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Elliot-Anderson-in-action-for-Nottingham-Forest.jpg.webp 1200w\" data-sizes=\"(min-width:1230px) 770px, (min-width:1020px) 630px, (min-width:900px) 880px, (min-width:680px) 97vw, (min-width:414px) 414px, 100vw\"\/><\/picture><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Elliott Anderson plays for Nottingham Forest (Photo by Shaun Botterill\/Getty Images)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p class=\"p1\">Meanwhile, Manchester United are in dire need of a reliable defensive midfielder like him. Casemiro will leave the club at the end of the season and they need a replacement for him. It will be interesting to see if they are willing to stump up the \u00a3100m to complete the deal.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">The paper claims Manchester City are the frontrunners to sign the England international midfielder this summer, but it remains to be seen how the situation will develop. His former club Newcastle are also monitoring the situation closely. However, it seems unlikely that they will be able to pay a nine-figure salary to a 23-year-old player.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">It will be interesting to see where he ends up.
