Man Utd learn asking price for Elliot Anderson

Manchester United will need to pay at least £100 million to prise away Elliot Anderson from Nottingham Forest next year.

The Red Devils are expected to sign a marquee defensive midfielder next summer, given they could lose the services of Casemiro.

Casemiro's current £350,000 per week deal expires in June next year and United have the option to keep him for 12 months.

United have no plans of exercising the clause, and the Brazilian could depart on a free transfer unless he accepts a massive paycut.

Amidst this, Anderson has emerged as a top target for the Mancunian giants, but Forest are unlikely to let him go on the cheap.

Forest are aware of the premium prices paid for the likes of Declan Rice, Moises Caicedo and Enzo Fernandez in the last few years.

They place Anderson in the same category and plan to hold out for a nine-figure sum to part ways with the Newcastle United graduate.
