Manchester United is interested in poaching midfielder Anderson, but Nottingham Forest is scared away with an asking price of over 100 million pounds.

According to the latest news from the famous European sports reporter Florian Plettenberg, Manchester United originally intended to acquire Nottingham Forest midfielder Elliot Anderson as Casemiro's successor. Nottingham Forest took the opportunity to ask for a sky-high price, demanding a transfer fee of 100 million pounds to 120 million pounds, and seemed to want the Red Devils to retreat.

Since Casemiro is now 33 years old and his weekly salary is as high as 300,000 pounds, Manchester United management requires the Brazilian international to cut his salary by more than half, otherwise there is a high chance of letting him go. Therefore, Manchester United began to look for new midfielders and took a fancy to Nottingham Forest midfielder Anderson.

The 22-year-old Anderson was born in the youth team of Newcastle United. In July last year, he transferred to Nottingham Forest for a transfer fee of 35 million pounds. The two parties signed a five-year contract. Anderson played 37 Premier League games on behalf of Nottingham Forest last season, scoring 2 goals and providing 6 assists. In August this year, he was selected for the England national team. He successfully became a national player and also attracted the attention of Manchester United.

Anderson has made 1 assist in 9 appearances in the Premier League this season. Since he still has 4 years of contract, there is no liquidated damages clause in the contract. Now Nottingham Forest can sell him at a high price, and he will not be sold during the season. If Manchester United wants to sign the midfielder next summer, it will need to pay more than 100 million pounds in transfer fees. The Red Devils Manchester United have frequently spent huge sums of money to recruit troops in recent years. As for whether they will accept Nottingham Forest's offer, fans will wait and see.
