Elliot Anderson: Chance for United as City look elsewhere

Manchester United is looking for an elite replacement for Casemiro, who is expected to depart at the end of the season.

Manchester City is reportedly in pole position to sign Elliot Anderson, as he prefers a move to the Etihad over Old Trafford.

Casemiro is expected to leave Manchester United at the conclusion of the current campaign.

It is well documented at this stage that Manchester United will be going all out to land an elite replacement for Casemiro in the summer.

The Brazilian is expected to depart at the conclusion of the current campaign, with the Red Devils identifying Elliot Anderson of Nottingham Forest as the perfect replacement.

However, noisy neighbours Manchester City are reportedly in pole position for the Englishman, who prefers a switch to the Etihad over Old Trafford.

The 23-year-old’s price tag of £125 million is another major obstacle that INEOS need to overcome if they are to win the race.

However, there could be a ray of light at the end of the tunnel, if The Athletic are to be believed.
