United’s Strategy for Midfield Reinforcement
Manchester United is preparing to make a move in January for Nottingham Forest’s midfielder Elliot Anderson. The club’s leadership is eager to provide manager Ruben Amorim with an additional midfield option as the new year approaches.
Pursuit of Other Targets
The team remains interested in Brighton’s Carlos Baleba, following an unsuccessful bid for the Cameroonian player during the summer transfer window.
However, Brighton has stated that they won’t entertain offers lower than £100 million for Baleba, prompting United to view Anderson as a more financially feasible option. There is a growing conviction within the club that, despite Anderson’s offensive skills, he has the potential to transition into a No. 6 role in the future.
Potential for Dual Signings
While the possibility of acquiring both players is still on the table, any decisions may hinge on finding a buyer for Kobbie Mainoo during the January transfer window.
