Elliot Anderson: Blockbuster update on Man United target’s future
Elliot Anderson: Blockbuster update on Man United target’s future Manchester United are looking to make a world-class addition to the midfield this summer, and it is no wonder they have their eyes on Nottingham Forest star Elliot Anderson. The Red Devils are laying down succession plans for Casemiro, who is set to leave Old Trafford at the end of the season as a free agent. The Brazilian has been in red-hot form under caretaker manager Michael Carrick, bringing drive and tenacity to the middle of the park.
His partnership with Kobbie Mainoo has been key to United’s rise in recent months. The Red Devils have already qualified for next season’s Champions League and are third in the Premier League table after 36 games. INEOS are now determined to replace Casemiro with an aggressive midfielder, and one could argue there is no one better than Anderson in the Premier League.
Premier League’s best midfielder? Anderson has been a revelation for Nottingham Forest this season and has been a dominant presence in the middle of the park. He has won the most duels in the Premier League (284), suggesting that he could be the ideal partner for Mainoo at the Theatre of Dreams.
However, the 23 year old has also been quite impressive with the ball at his feet. Among midfielders in the league, Anderson has registered the fourth-most successful long passes (115) and the most successful short passes (1,813). The Englishman has registered four goals and three assists in 48 appearances across competitions for Forest this season, all but five of which have been starts.
