Manchester United are looking to improve their midfield unit with the signing of Elliot Anderson during the January transfer window.

There is a unanimous feeling within the club that he would be the perfect acquisition for them. Anderson has proven himself in the Premier League, and he has impressed at the international level with the national team as well. He has the quality to play for the biggest clubs in the country, and the opportunity to join Manchester United could be tempting for him.

One source told CaughtOffside: “United see Anderson as a perfect option and a long-term investment, though they could also accelerate their efforts for him this January. There is a unanimous feeling among the directors, Ruben Amorim, and his coaching staff that Anderson would be a great addition in that position.”

According to a report from CaughtOffside, Manchester United view him as the ideal replacement for Casemiro and Manuel Ugarte. It will be interesting to see if they follow up on their interest with an official proposal in the coming weeks. Nottingham Forest will not want to lose one of their best players in the middle of the season, and it could be a difficult deal to complete.

The 22-year-old is a tremendous talent with a bright future, and Manchester United must do everything in their power to get the deal done.
