Record price for MU to own Elliot Anderson

MU plans to upgrade the midfield and Elliot Anderson becomes the top target in the January 2026 transfer window.

Forest are asking for £120m for Anderson.

However, Nottingham Forest is said to not easily lose Anderson when setting a price of up to 120 million pounds for the 23-year-old midfielder. Forest's move makes the deal expected to become tense for MU at the negotiating table.

According to Sky Sports , the "Red Devils" are really interested in Anderson, while TEAMtalk said coach Ruben Amorim sees the player who grew up at Newcastle as the number one choice to increase creativity and strength in midfield. This season, Anderson continues to show great influence in the Forest midfield.

Notably, MU is only willing to spend about 60 million pounds. However, Anderson is said to be very eager to wear the Old Trafford shirt, seeing this as an opportunity to shine in the shirt of a big club and conquer titles.

Experts say the player's determination is an important negotiating weapon for MU, especially when they have to consider spending limits under Financial Fair Play (FFP) regulations. Journalist Fraser Fletcher commented: "Anderson's desire to play for MU could be the key factor in completing the deal."

If successful, Anderson will become Ruben Amorim's next big signing since taking charge of United, adding energy and creativity to a midfield that has been struggling.

However, the price that Forest offered shows that the Nottingham team does not want to part with the player easily. 120 million pounds also makes Anderson the most expensive contract in the history of the Old Trafford team.
