The local newspaper Manchester Evening News describes Elliot Anderson as a dream signing for Manchester United. The 23-year-old, who will start alongside Declan Rice for England at the World Cup, is a perfect fit as a future superstar around whom the midfield will be built. This is the player the Red Devils have decided to go to great lengths to avoid him ending up in the blue part of the city.
Michael Carrick will get a solid reinforcement of the midfield as a permanent Manchester United. At Manchester City, incoming manager Enzo Maresca should get the same. Elliot Anderson is in the plan of both Manchester clubs. City have in recent weeks been the clear favourite to land the signing of the 23-year-old, but now it is reported that the city rival has given the green light to meet the demands of the protagonist.
Because according to The Mirror , Manchester United owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe is willing to meet the wage demands of midfielder Elliot Anderson from Nottingham Forest in order to bring him to the club.
Manchester United refuse to lose battle for Elliot Anderson signing
It has gone from Manchester United management being “confident in signing Anderson”, to reports from the English media that the 23-year-old himself wants to join City, that the United management has then given up on the fight, to Manchester City having had the first bid rejected.
Earlier this week, The Guardian reported that the battle for the England international is far from over, with United management confident they can beat city rivals City in the race for the central midfielder. The club is willing to pay just over £80 million, while Nottingham Forest are pushing for £100+ million.
Manchester United intend to manoeuvre themselves into pole position for what could be England’s biggest midfield stars.
