Manchester United are reportedly now expected to approach Nottingham Forest over the potential transfer of Elliot Anderson.
The England international remains one of their top targets as they look for two new signings in midfield this summer.
That’s according to Ben Jacobs, speaking to Give Me Sport, as he tips Man Utd to start to try moving quickly for new additions in midfield, with now looking like a good time to approach Forest as they’ve secured Premier League survival.

The Red Devils will be bidding farewell to Casemiro as he comes to the end of his contract this summer, while Manuel Ugarte’s poor form surely means he won’t be in the club’s plans and could perhaps leave.
Anderson seems like an ideal target for United to go for in that position, and Jacobs has provided some insight into why we could now see things starting to move a bit quicker.
Elliot Anderson to Manchester United transfer update
“So Manchester United are going to move quite quickly on at least two midfielders because Manuel Ugarte could be sold, Casemiro is leaving, and the top priority still remains Elliot Anderson,” Jacobs said.
“Manchester United will start now to find out the price, because the thing that’s moved with Elliot Anderson is the ability to go to Nottingham Forest, which wasn’t the case when they were still in Europe or before they had secured their Premier League safety.
