Nottingham Forest midfielder Elliot Anderson has been heavily linked with a move to Manchester United, but several clubs are lining up for his signature as he continues to perform in the Premier League.<\/p>\n

Ruben Amorim<\/a> is expected to address his midfield issues in 2026 after Manchester United\u2019s failed pursuit of Carlos Baleba<\/a> in the summer.<\/p>\n

In the United coach\u2019s<\/a> preferred 3-4-2-1 system, Bruno Fernandes<\/a> and Casemiro<\/a> are the preferred options as a double pivot, but both players are in their thirties.<\/p>\n

Casemiro\u2019s contract is set to expire in the summer, which will play a big role in United\u2019s thinking ahead of the transfer window.<\/p>\n

United have been linked with multiple midfield options since the beginning of the season. Most of them are already playing in the Premier League<\/a>, such as Adam Wharton<\/a> at Crystal Palace and Elliot Anderson<\/a> at Nottingham Forest.<\/p>\n

However, United won\u2019t be the only Premier League club looking to add to their midfield in the new year.<\/p>\n

Wharton and Anderson will have interest from other top English clubs, especially if they continue to perform at such a high level. <\/p>\n

Like Wharton, Anderson has been getting plenty of plaudits this season.<\/p>\n

Former Arsenal ace Jack Wilshere raved over Anderson<\/a> recently and seemingly gave his approval for the London outfit to sign him.<\/p>\n

Anderson stood out in United\u2019s 2-2 draw with Forest<\/a>, proving his worth in front of Amorim at the City Ground.<\/p>\n

Elliot was seen as a United target at the time, but a strong audition led to more speculation over the move.<\/p>\n

Now, TEAMtalk<\/a> claims Anderson is a top midfield target for United in 2026, with the England international \u201cvery keen\u201d on a move to Old Trafford.<\/p>\n

Are you confident Manchester United will beat Everton? <\/p>\n

It is understood that United are confident of striking a \u00a360 million deal for Anderson, despite widespread belief that Forest will be demanding \u00a3120 million for his signature in the summer.<\/p>\n

The report added that Arsenal are interested in signing Anderson next year.<\/p>\n

Elliot Anderson audition against Man Utd rivals<\/p>\n

The Times<\/a> believe Liverpool are keen to sign Anderson, despite spending big on their midfield in the previous transfer window.<\/p>\n

That would suggest Arne Slot wants to add more to his rebuild in the middle of the park, adding extra competition, or that he is not satisfied with his current options.<\/p>\n

Anderson will travel to Anfield this afternoon as Forest take on Liverpool in the Premier League.<\/p>\n

United fans<\/a> will hope Anderson plays so well he can help Forest take three points from Slot\u2019s side.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Nottingham Forest midfielder Elliot Anderson has been heavily linked with a move to Manchester United, but several clubs…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":277566,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[33],"tags":[58699,218,101,56,54,55],"class_list":{"0":"post-277565","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-football","8":"tag-elliot-anderson","9":"tag-football","10":"tag-sports","11":"tag-uk","12":"tag-united-kingdom","13":"tag-unitedkingdom"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/277565","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=277565"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/277565\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/277566"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=277565"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=277565"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=277565"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
