I heard that coach Hugo Viana selected him as his desired player last summer.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;In the world of football, there is a consensus that Anderson only goes to one place and that is City.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;City and Forest haven&#8217;t confirmed anything, nothing has been signed, but I think Anderson knows where he&#8217;s going to play next season and it will be at the Etihad.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The paper adds that Forest want \u00a390m for Anderson, which could be how much City would pay for the 23-year-old.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Will_Elliot_Anderson_choose_Manchester_City_over_Manchester_United\"><\/span>Will Elliot Anderson choose Manchester City over Manchester United?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Another report from talkSPORT has provided the latest information regarding Anderson, but it cannot be said that a deal has been reached for him to move to City.<\/p>\n<p>Their argument is that Anderson appears to be leaning towards a move to City over Man United, although we previously reported that City are the frontrunners for the deal.<\/p>\n<p>It probably makes sense for MCFC to make Anderson an immediate priority. He looks like he could serve as a long-term replacement for Rodri, who has been plagued by injuries recently, and he also turns 30 this summer.<\/p>\n<p>This is an ideal deal, as Andersson is very similar to the next Rodri, and the 23-year-old still has his best years ahead of him.<\/p>\n<p>However, United could certainly do well with Anderson, with Casemiro set to leave as a free agent this summer, and the club also need an upgrade from Manuel Ugarte, who fell out of favor after a disappointing performance at Old Trafford.<\/p>\n<p><!-- Article End -->\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Manchester City manager Josep Guardiola watches during the draw with Nottingham Forest (Photo by Gareth Copley\/Getty Images) Manchester City could already agree a transfer deal with Nottingham Forest midfielder and Manchester United target Elliott Anderson, it has been reported.
