It has gone from Manchester United management being “confident in signing Anderson”, to reports from the English media that the 23-year-old himself wants to join City, that the United management has then given up on the fight, to Manchester City having had the first bid rejected.

Talksport reports City are preparing a second bid for Anderson. The club is willing to pay just over £80 million, while Nottingham Forest are pushing for £100+ million.
