Man Utd eyeing January move for Forest star

Manchester United are reportedly keen on landing Nottingham Forest midfielder Elliot Anderson during the winter transfer window.

The Red Devils were determined to bolster their midfield department earlier this summer, but were unable to find their preferred target.

The club made an approach to land Brighton & Hove Albion midfielder Carlos Baleba, but they were priced out due to the £115m price tag.

A loan move was made for Conor Gallagher on deadline day, but Atletico Madrid stood firm on permanent bids for the Englishman.

United are ready to try again at the turn of the year and Caught Offside claim that Anderson has now emerged as the top transfer target.

Anderson has made immense progress since his move to Forest from Newcastle United. He has impressed with his recoveries and duel-winning ability from the centre of the park for the Tricky Trees.

Forest value him at more than £60 million, but it could be difficult for United to persuade them to sell him midway through the season.
