British media: Manchester United plans to strengthen their midfield next summer, with Anderson and Baleba becoming candidate targets
6686 Sports News on November 16 According to the British media "Mirror", Manchester United plans to introduce two strong midfielders next summer, and Nottingham Forest's Elliott Anderson is their first choice.
Amorim hopes to rebuild the team by strengthening the midfielder, and Brighton's Baleba is also another important signing target he is considering.
This summer, Brighton rejected Manchester United's last offer for Baleba, but Manchester United is still very interested in him, and the Cameroon international also hopes to move to Old Trafford. Nottingham Forest's England international Anderson is another target. He can play both at the 6th position and as an attacking midfielder, which means Manchester United will pursue him very strongly.
The 23-year-old Anderson has attracted widespread attention for his outstanding performances for club and country, and Forest know they face a battle to keep him. He is likely to be worth less than Baleba, who is worth £100m, and is therefore seen as a good potential deal. Manchester United veteran Casemiro's contract is about to expire and he must accept a salary cut if he wants to stay with the team.
