Manchester United have been afforded a chance to take stock during the international break. While many of Michael Carrick\u2019s squad are away with their national teams, focus has turned to the club\u2019s plans for the summer transfer window.<\/p>\n
The team\u2019s recent good run of form has put United firmly in contention to qualify for the Champions League<\/a>, sitting six points ahead of Liverpool<\/a> in fifth. Their revival under Carrick and possible return to Europe\u2019s top club competition make the club an increasingly attractive destination for players.<\/p>\n Midfield is an area United will want to prioritise in the transfer market as Casemiro is set to leave in the summer. Nottingham Forest<\/a> and England midfielder Elliot Anderson is among those to have been touted as his potential replacement at Old Trafford<\/a>.<\/p>\n Newcastle<\/a> United star Sandro Tonali is another of the club\u2019s reported midfield targets<\/a>.

He has earned plaudits for his performances this season, despite Forest fighting for Premier League<\/a> survival.<\/p>\n Anderson\u2019s immediate focus will be on playing in England\u2019s upcoming game against Japan on Tuesday. He was not involved in the team\u2019s 1-1 draw with Uruguay last week as Tuchel fielded an experimental lineup.<\/p>\n Having watched Jordan Henderson<\/a> and James Garner start in his position, Anderson said: \u201cWe’re all sort of competing with each other but we’re all really good mates within the group, so there’s definitely a great balance, the competitiveness is definitely there and we’re really enjoying it.\u201d<\/p>\n Sandro Tonali has been linked with Manchester United(Image: Giuseppe Maffia\/NurPhoto via Getty Images)<\/p>\n Sandro Tonali update<\/p>\n Newcastle United<\/a> are said to be relaxed about their chances of keeping Sandro Tonali. The Italy international has been the subject of much transfer speculation and has been linked with a move to Old Trafford.<\/p>\n ChronicleLive<\/a> has reported that Newcastle are calm regarding Tonali\u2019s future. The 25-year-old has a contract that runs until 2029, with the option for another year.<\/p>\n However, it is said that the Magpies are frustrated with the player\u2019s agent, Giuseppe Riso, who has openly discussed the possibility of his client leaving the club. When previously speaking about Tonali to Italian media, he said: \u201cIf he shines at the World Cup, will City or Arsenal<\/a> be hot on his heels?<\/p>\n \u201cI don\u2019t know, but it\u2019s very likely. Everyone is waiting for the World Cup; then a thousand scenarios will unfold, but it all kicks off after the World Cup.\u201d<\/p>\n Join our new MAN UTD WhatsApp community<\/a> and receive your daily dose of Manchester United content from Mirror Football.
