Neco Williams: United make contact for Nottingham Forest full-back

Neco Williams: United make contact for Nottingham Forest full-back Manchester United appear to be looking at Nottingham Forest to address several squad concerns. At the top of their wishlist is Forest’s all-action midfielder Elliot Anderson, who is the subject of a battle between United and Manchester City. Recently, The Peoples Person relayed a report claiming Anderson favours a move to Old Trafford over the Etihad.

However, whether United would be able to breach the £100m-mark to get the deal over the line remains to be seen. Manchester United make move for Neco Williams The BBC are now reporting that Manchester United are among a host of clubs monitoring Nottingham Forest full-back Neco Williams. It is claimed United, Newcastle United, Aston Villa, and Everton have all made “discreet enquiries” to understand Williams’ situation heading into the summer.

The Red Devils and the Toffees’ interests, in particular, are going to raise some eyebrows, given Williams graduated from Liverpool’s academy and featured for the senior side before moving to Nottingham in a £12m deal. However, Forest are keen on pouring cold water on suggestions of an exit. It is understood they have opened talks with Williams over a contract extension amid increasing noise.

The 25-year-old Wales international has been a key player for Forest, impressing on both flanks. He has made 51 appearances across all competitions, with the majority of his playing time coming as a left-back. The 6ft tall defender also wore the captain’s armband recently, underlining his growing reputation at the City Ground.
