Midfielder on the radar of Man United wants move to take step forward in his career | OneFootball

Nottingham Forest midfielder Elliot Anderson has become one of the most talked-about young talents in English football, with several top Premier League clubs circling for his signature.

According to TEAMtalk, the 22-year-old is attracting serious interest from Manchester United, Newcastle United, and Tottenham Hotspur, with all three sides viewing him as a potential long-term midfield solution.

However, while Anderson himself is reportedly keen to take the next step in his career, a January move appears highly unlikely due to Nottingham Forest’s firm stance, and an eye-watering £100 million valuation designed to ward off suitors.

Since making the move to Nottingham Forest, he has grown into one of their most influential players, combining tireless work rate with creativity and composure in possession.

His ability to carry the ball through midfield, link play, and contribute defensively has made him an indispensable figure in the squad.

Scouts from across Europe have noted his rapid development, with Premier League clubs eager to test Forest’s resolve.

Anderson has an “eagerness to secure a move that aligns with his career ambitions”, hinting that he is open to a new challenge if the right opportunity arises.

Yet, despite the growing interest, Forest remain determined to keep hold of their star midfielder.

The East Midlands club have deliberately set a prohibitive £100 million price tag, not necessarily as an invitation for offers but as a clear message that they have no intention of selling midway through the season.

With a midfielder high on the agenda at Old Trafford, Man United could consider a move for him next year.
