Manchester United urged to make double Forest signing

Teddy Sheringham has urged Manchester United to sign Elliot Anderson and Morgan Gibbs-White from Nottingham Forest this summer.

Manchester United are plotting a midfield rebuild in the summer with Anderson understood to be a top target for the Red Devils.

Sheringham believes Anderson is not the only Forest talent that United should be considering. The former forward, who played for both clubs, believes Gibbs-White would also be a ‘readymade’ addition to the side.

Gibbs-White has scored 12 goals in the Premier League this season, the most of any midfielder, and Sheringham has backed the 26-year-old for a big move.

“I really like Anderson at Nottingham Forest, and I really like Gibbs-White as well. When Tottenham were in for him, I was very excited about that,” Sheringham told TEAMtalk.

“I can understand why Forest wouldn’t let him go because of the calibre of player he is.

“He’s very different to Anderson – he gets forward, he’s got great tenacity, wants to fight people, and the aggression and will-to-win comes out in him. I think he’s a top, top player.

“He comes out a little bit differently to Anderson, but they complement each other perfectly in the Forest midfield.

“Could they [United] get them both? Money talks, doesn’t it, and what a readymade duo that would be to add to the Manchester United squad.”
