Manchester United must and must renew and strengthen their midfield in the summer transfer window. They tested themselves on Carlos Baleba last spring, but received a deterrent requirement that was far above what the club was willing to pay. In the last six months, Ellitot Anderson has moved up to top goal for the Red Devils. The midfielder has even in a lead-heavy season for Nottingham Forest shown he is the player for bigger tasks.
In February, the hyperactive transfer journalist Romano singled out Anderson as the player “Man Utd would love to sign”, now United supporters are waiting for more signs that the club is going all in to secure the English 23-year-old for 70 million+, who with eye, strength, speed and technique just as naturally torments opponents in the world’s toughest league in central, as a defensive midfield position.

Three months before the end of the season, the only certainty is that Anderson does not want to continue at Nottingham Forest in crisis and chaos next season, but Manchester United have faced particularly strong competition from Manchester City and Pep Guardiola in recent weeks.
It is thus between United and City, according to English Talksport , the 23-year-old has now made his choice, a choice that will make United supporters resentful. Next season, United will face Elliot in the city derby wearing the light blue shirt. The midfielder is said to have decided on Man City, it is claimed.

On Wednesday, Nottingham Forest took a very important point at the Etihad against Manchester City. Then Guardiola and the gang had to accept that the player who has chosen the club scored the equalizer for Forest to make it 2-2.
For United, it doesn’t make up for the fact that the 23-year-old denied his city rival victory, it will be a big defeat if one of England’s hottest midfielders moves to the light blue part of the city.
