Man United Prepare £60m Structured Bid for Forest’s Elliot Anderson in January

Forest are resisting a mid-season sale, valuing the England midfielder near £80m.

Overview

  • United are reported to be readying a structured package totalling about £60m to test Forest’s resolve, with no formal offer confirmed.
  • Forest are described as under no pressure to sell and are expected to push for roughly £80m if talks advance.
  • Anderson, 22, is an England international who left Newcastle for Forest in 2024 in a deal reported at around £35m and has since become a key starter.
  • Rúben Amorim views Anderson’s pressing and box-to-box qualities as a fit for his system, though some analysts note he is not a natural No.6 to replace Casemiro.
  • Reports suggest Anderson would be open to a move to Old Trafford, with Manchester City and Chelsea also linked, while a separate January move for Everton’s Jarrad Branthwaite is viewed as unlikely.
