Everyone knows that Manchester United need to overhaul their midfield this summer transfer window, having already successfully overhauled their attack in summer 2025.
There are a number of credible options on Man United’s radar, and there is every chance that the Red Devils go ahead and bag two players this offseason, especially if Casemiro ends up walking.
Per a new report from Nathan Salt of the Daily Mail, the center midfielder at the very top of the Manchester United transfer wish list is none other than Nottingham Forest breakout man Elliot Anderson.
That should come as no surprise. Though players like Adam Wharton and Sandro Tonali are also excellent and could even join Man United in conjunction with the Forest star, Anderson brings the all around quality and robust athleticism that the Red Devils are badly missing.
He has been one of the top four midfielders in the Premier League this season, no questions asked, and Man United may find competition from Manchester City and even Chelsea stiff. Others around Europe will surely be involved in the sweepstakes, too.
