Matheus Fernandes remains a player to watch at West Ham United. It seems very unlikely that he will spend a season in the Championship, but the Hammers&#8217; asking price of \u00a385m certainly complicates matters to say the least.<\/p>\n<div class=\"display-card  article article-card small  no-badge  active-content                              \" data-include-community-rating=\"false\" id=\"man-utd-now-in-dusan-vlahovic-transfer-race-newcastle-united\" data-nosnippet=\"\">\n<p>                        <\/p>\n<p>                    <span data-field=\"label\" class=\"article-card-label\"><label>related<\/label><\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"w-display-card-content regular article-block\">\n<h5 class=\"display-card-title \"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Manchester_United_plan_369000-a-week_move_as_he_considers_joining_Newcastle\"><\/span>\n<p>\t\t\tManchester United plan \u00a3369,000-a-week move as he considers joining Newcastle<\/p>\n<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h5>\n<p class=\"display-card-excerpt\">The Red Devils want to sign a striker.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p>From United&#8217;s point of view, a move for the Portuguese star will only become a priority if they miss out on other targets such as Elliott Anderson this summer.<\/p>\n<p>The Nottingham Forest midfielder has reportedly reached an agreement in principle with Manchester City, but the Red Devils are still optimistic they can lure him to Old Trafford.<\/p>\n<p>According to the Guardian, Sir Jim Ratcliffe has approved Anderson&#8217;s wage demands and is prepared to give the England star \u00a3150,000 a week despite his &#8220;intent to cut costs&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>This is on top of the \u00a3100m transfer fee demanded by Nottingham Forest, making Anderson one of the richest signings in Man United&#8217;s history.

The Nottingham Forest midfielder is exactly the profile of a player Man United need. He will take them from top-four favorites to a guaranteed top-four team and push them into the Premier League title race.<\/p>\n<p>No outfield player in Europe&#8217;s top five leagues recovered more balls last season, but only nine players made more tackles. Outside of possession, there is a strong argument that Anderson is the best midfielder the Premier League has to offer.<\/p>\n<p>Man United have spent too much money unnecessarily in the past, but Nottingham Forest&#8217;s star will not join their long list of failures.
