"The 23-year-old, who was described as "one of the best midfielders in the Premier League" by Thomas Tuchel last year, has won possession more times than any other midfielder in England's top flight this season. His traits are exactly what United need going forward, although it appears they will have to compete for his signature, with several clubs having been credited with an interest, including Liverpool, Chelsea and Manchester City."
"United are keen on a deal to sign Elliot Anderson. As well as Anderson, United are monitoring his teammate Morgan Gibbs-White as Nottingham Forest continue to hover above the Premier League relegation zone with 11 games of the season remaining. United are looking to benefit if Forest are relegated, according to the above report."
"Last summer, Forest wanted close to £100 million for Gibbs-White but that figure could drop dramatically if they drop down to the Championship. Morgan Gibbs-White has already spoken about his "love" for Man Utd and has admitted he grew up supporting Manchester United and idolised club legends Wayne Rooney and Paul Scholes."
Manchester United is pursuing a double transfer involving Nottingham Forest players Elliot Anderson and Morgan Gibbs-White following Casemiro's announced departure. Anderson, 23, has won possession more times than any other Premier League midfielder this season and was praised by Thomas Tuchel as one of the league's best midfielders. His defensive and possession-winning abilities align with United's midfield needs. However, multiple clubs including Liverpool, Chelsea, and Manchester City also pursue Anderson. United monitors Gibbs-White as a secondary target, particularly if Forest faces relegation. Forest previously valued Gibbs-White at nearly £100 million, but that price could decrease significantly if the club drops to the Championship. Gibbs-White has expressed childhood support for Manchester United and admiration for Wayne Rooney.
