MU could easily sign Elliot Anderson.

Manchester United are quietly preparing for a major overhaul of their midfield in the summer of 2026, and Elliot Anderson has emerged as a key player in that plan.

MU is the leading contender in the Anderson transfer deal.

According to transfer expert Fabrizio Romano, Manchester United are the strongest contenders in the race to sign the Nottingham Forest midfielder. The Italian journalist emphasized that this interest is not sporadic, but has been raised repeatedly in internal meetings at INEOS, despite the ongoing changes in the coaching position at Old Trafford.

Professionally, Anderson is highly regarded by experts. Coach Thomas Tuchel once called him an "outstanding player" and affirmed that he is one of the most prominent midfielders in the Premier League currently. His dynamic playing style, ability to escape pressing, and tactical thinking make Anderson the type of player that MU is lacking in its rebuilding process.

Notably, both Man City and Chelsea have also set their sights on the midfielder, ready to enter the race if Forest open negotiations. To avoid being overtaken, the scouting team led by Jason Wilcox is racing against time to create an advantage for MU before the transfer window opens.

Barring any major changes, Anderson is likely to become one of the first strategic signings of the new era at Old Trafford. Anderson's price is reportedly around £100 million.
