Elliot Anderson may be leaving Nottingham Forest this summer, despite his impressive performance. His display came during Nottingham Forest’s 3-2 home win.
Anderson’s Performance at Old Trafford
Elliot Anderson delivered two assists. He provided a cross for Morato to head home for 1-1 early in the second half. He also crossed for Morgan Gibbs-White to guide in a breathtaking finish to cut the deficit to 3-2. It was a dynamic and progressive midfield display from Anderson.
There was a moment when Anderson stole the ball off the toes of Bruno Fernandes and then confidently skipped his way beyond Casemiro. Forest head coach Vitor Pereira said Anderson has the talent to be one of the top players. Pereira added that Anderson is young and will fly with very big wings.
Potential Move to Manchester City
It is expected that Anderson may move this summer. It’s more likely to be to Manchester City than back to Manchester United. Forest are understood to want something well beyond £100million ($133m) if they are to be persuaded to do business.
Forest’s Plans for the Future
It is reluctantly accepted at Forest that somebody will come up with the level of offer that will give them serious food for thought. The City Ground decision-makers do have a plan for the future. It involves building on what they’ve already got.
Nottingham Forest have been quick to play down any suggestions that their hierarchy were keen for a reunion with Fulham’s Marco Silva. There is no appetite for further change after this four-manager season. They plan to offer Pereira, who also steered Wolverhampton W.
