Manchester United Stance on Elliot Anderson Transfer After Massive Man City Bid

United will not match Manchester City’s more than £120 million offer and will turn to other midfield targets instead.

  • Manchester United are ending their pursuit of Nottingham Forest midfielder Elliot Anderson after Manchester City submitted an offer worth more than 120 million for the 23-year-old England international.
  • United have already signed 26-year-old Ederson from Atalanta for £35 million with £3.8 million in potential add-ons, and recruitment staff at Old Trafford remain determined not to overpay for targets.
  • Recruitment focus has shifted toward West Ham's 21-year-old Mateus Fernandes and Brighton's Carlos Baleba, whose valuation may have dipped below the £100 million mark they were quoted 12 months ago.
  • The club maintains interest in Bournemouth midfielder Alex Scott, who recently trained with England in Florida, and Real Madrid's Aurelien Tchouameni, though Tchouameni appears likely to remain at the Bernabeu following Jose Mourinho's appointment.
  • Further midfield recruitment may depend on player departures, with United considering a move for a third target if they can sell Manuel Ugarte, who is currently representing Uruguay at the World Cup.
