Manchester United are willing to break their transfer record to sign Nottingham Forest star Elliot Anderson this summer, according to reports.<\/p>\n

The Old Trafford side<\/a> have earmarked the 23-year-old as their top target for the upcoming transfer window and could be ready to meet Forest\u2019s hefty asking price.<\/p>\n

The City Ground outfit are believed to be looking for in excess of \u00a3100m for Anderson, who joined the club for \u00a335m from Newcastle United in 2024.<\/p>\n

Anderson has no shortage of suitors in the Premier League ahead of the summer, with Manchester City emerging as strong rivals for United in the race for the \u2018jaw-dropping\u2019<\/a> midfielder.<\/p>\n

Man Utd to Break Transfer Record for Anderson?<\/p>\n

\"Elliot<\/p>\n

According to TEAMtalk<\/a>, while Forest have managed to fend off interest in Anderson during the January transfer window, the 23-year-old\u2019s departure this summer now \u2018looks a certainty\u2019.<\/p>\n

Forest appear unlikely to keep hold of the midfielder regardless of whether they secure Premier League survival, with both Man City and United keen on landing him.<\/p>\n

United view Anderson as a priority transfer target and are willing to meet Forest\u2019s asking price to ensure they win the race for his signature.<\/p>\n

A move north of \u00a3100m would make Anderson the club\u2019s most expensive signing ever, surpassing the \u00a389.3m paid to sign Paul Pogba in 2016.<\/p>\n

Anderson Seen as Casemiro Replacement<\/p>\n

\"Manchester<\/p>\n

Looking to overhaul their midfield this summer, United could bring in Anderson as a replacement for Casemiro, whose contract expires after the season.<\/p>\n

The Brazil international has announced he will be departing Old Trafford at the end of his agreement, following a three-year spell at the club.<\/p>\n

The futures of Kobbie Mainoo and Manuel Ugarte have also been talking points in recent months, although Mainoo has established himself as an important player once again under Michael Carrick.<\/p>\n

Captain Bruno Fernandes\u2019 situation could also be revisited after the season<\/a>, when the 31-year-old enters the final year of his contract.<\/p>\n

Why Top Clubs Are After Anderson<\/p>\n

\"Nottingham<\/p>\n

Amid Anderson\u2019s sky-rocketing stock this season, we asked ChatGPT to evaluate what makes the 23-year-old a top target for Premier League clubs:<\/p>\n
