Manchester City and United vie for Nottingham Forest midfielder Elliot Anderson

Elliot Anderson Manchester City Manchester United Nottingham Forest £100 million transfer

Nottingham Forest's 23‑year‑old England international Elliot Anderson is at the centre of a summer transfer battle. The club has set a asking price north of £100 million. Manchester City made an initial offer that was rejected and are preparing a second, official bid, with transfer guru Fabrizio Romano confirming City’s confidence of securing the deal.

Manchester United remain in the race, with co‑owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe reportedly ready to meet Anderson’s wage demands and the club believing it can outbid City. Both clubs see the midfielder as a key addition ahead of the 2026 World Cup and the new Premier League season. The transfer window opens on 15 June, and a move would reshape the midfield market for the top English clubs.
