In a recent segment on Youtube, respected journalist Fabrizio Romano mentioned that Manchester United are big admirers of Nottingham Forest talent Elliot Anderson. Romano said,
“So Man Utd will not make a decision in February about their midfield targets. They have a shortlist with several names being considered and monitored. I have already told you, for example, that Elliot Anderson is appreciated.”
Anderson’s Impressive Form In The Premier League
Anderson is enjoying a good run of form at the Midlands club as he has put in a string of impressive displays for them at the centre of the park. The 23-year-old has scored one goal and grabbed a couple of assists in 32 matches for Nottingham this season across all fronts.
The English talent is currently among the best central midfielders in the Premier League. Thus, Man United would do well to lure him to Old Trafford at the end of this campaign.
His current contract at the City Ground will expire in the summer of 2029, which could make it tough for the Red Devils to sign him on a cut-price deal later this year.
Will Anderson Be A Good Choice For Manchester United Boss Michael Carrick?
Anderson loves a tackle and can scan the danger well to make the odd interception for his team inside his half. He doesn’t mind clearing the danger when required and is a tidy passer of the ball.
The English sensation can strike the ball with power from long range and has got the vision to create some decent chances for his teammates in the final third. Anderson is an energetic runner with the ball as well. He has got a wealth of experience in the Premier League and won’t take much time to adjust to life at the Mancunian club.
We can expect Anderson to add more quality and depth to Man United boss Michael Carrick’s midfield. He has what it takes to nail down a regular first-team spot at Old Trafford.
At 23, Anderson has his best years ahead of him, which makes him a good choice for the Red Devils to consider this summer. Furthermore, he would also serve a good, long-term successor to Casemiro at the Mancunian club.
