Overview
- Transfer reporter Florian Plettenberg says Manchester United have registered concrete interest in Elliot Anderson, with Nottingham Forest informed.
- Forest are described as seeking around £100m–£120m for the 23-year-old, a stance strengthened by his long contract and the club’s reluctance to sell.
- Crystal Palace have held early talks about a new deal for Adam Wharton, and the midfielder told The Athletic he treats United links lightly.
- Coverage highlights mixed signals on timing, with Sky Sports News reporting United are not expected to buy in January despite ongoing midfield planning.
- United continue to track multiple targets, including Carlos Baleba, with reports also flagging cheaper options such as Joao Gomes or a Conor Gallagher loan and potential player sales to fund a major fee.
