"Top, top player" tipped as realistic Manchester United transfer target | OneFootball

Manchester United could have a realistic shot at signing both Elliot Anderson and Morgan Gibbs White from Nottingham Forest this summer, according to Teddy Sheringham.

The former Red Devils striker is a big fan of Gibbs White, praising him as a “top, top player” and someone with “aggression” in midfield.

The England international has been one of Forest’s most important players for some time now, and he’s contributed a hugely impressive 15 goals and five assists in all competitions this season.

Sheringham feels he’s a different kind of player to his Forest teammate Anderson, but believes the pair could be affordable and could complement each other well in the Man Utd midfield.

Manchester United urged to sign Forest duo

Discussing United’s plans to strengthen in midfield this summer, Sheringham told TEAMtalk: “I really like Anderson at Nottingham Forest, and I really like Gibbs-White as well. When Tottenham were in for him, I was very excited about that.

“I can understand why Forest wouldn’t let him go because of the calibre of player he is.

“He’s very different to Anderson – he gets forward, he’s got great tenacity, wants to fight people, and the aggression and will-to-win comes out in him. I think he’s a top, top player.

“He comes out a little bit differently to Anderson, but they complement each other perfectly in the Forest midfield.

“Could they [United] get them both? Money talks, doesn’t it, and what a readymade duo that would be to add to the Manchester United squad.”

This is not the first time we’ve heard mention of Gibbs White to United, with the Daily Mail linking the 26-year-old as a target recently.
