Manchester United and Man City competing for Nottingham Forest's Elliot Anderson
Summary

Manchester United is vying with Manchester City to sign Nottingham Forest's Elliot Anderson.

United is also close to finalizing a deal for Ederson from Atalanta, although it has stalled due to World Cup commitments.
