MU is said to have initiated important steps to recruit Nottingham Forest midfielder Elliot Anderson in the upcoming winter transfer window.

The 22-year-old English star has emerged as one of the most sought-after talents in the Premier League, attracting attention from a host of big names, including Real Madrid.

The "Red Devils" are preparing a "blockbuster" offer, worth about 70 million pounds, to surpass competitors such as Real Madrid, Chelsea, and Man City.

MU considers Anderson a top priority target to completely solve the problems in the midfield area.

The need for this deal is clear: the “Red Devils” squad is lacking freshness.

Besides, Kobbie Mainoo is not in favor of Ruben Amorim, so adding a young, versatile player with leadership potential like Anderson is considered urgent.

Anderson has been in excellent form for Nottingham Forest, combining creativity, dribbling, pressing and possessing the qualities of a modern central midfielder.

MU believes that Anderson can become a mainstay of the club for many years to come, just like how Thomas Tuchel is building him into a link for England towards the 2026 World Cup.

However, the deal is not expected to be simple. Nottingham Forest stands firm and does not want to let their key player leave for a lower price than expected.

MU must show determination and convince both Forest and Anderson personally about the attractiveness of the football project at Old Trafford.

The successful recruitment of Anderson not only brings freshness and internal competition, but also sends a message about MU's great ambition to compete for the Premier League title.
