Manchester United are hoping to sign the Nottingham Forest midfielder Elliot Anderson at the end of the season.

According to a report from TEAMtalk, Michael Carrick wants to sign the £100 million-rated midfielder in the summer, and Manchester City are also keen on him. However, Manchester United do not plan to give up on the cheese, and they are now doing everything in their power to get the deal done.

Man United plan to land Elliot Anderson

Apparently, Manchester United will look to use Harry Maguire to get the deal done. They are hoping that the Manchester United defender can tap up Anderson and convince him to move to Old Trafford instead. Manchester United have used this tactic to snap up England internationals in the past, and they are now hoping to do the same with Anderson. Ferdinand played a key role in convincing Wayne Rooney to join the club.

The report claims that Kobbie Mainoo and Luke Shaw could also play a key role in convincing Anderson to choose Manchester United over Manchester City.
