Manchester United aims to disrupt Manchester City's pursuit of Elliot Anderson

Summary

Manchester United is attempting to outmaneuver Manchester City in the race for Elliot Anderson, as reported on June 8, 2026. United's sporting director Jason Wilcox is determined to sign the midfielder, particularly in light of Casemiro's imminent departure. Anderson, who has excelled for Nottingham Forest since 2023, is a key target for both Manchester clubs. City has made a bid that was rejected, as Forest seeks over £100 million, and they are preparing a new offer soon. With time running out before the transfer window closes, United is making a serious effort to secure Anderson’s signing.
