Top Manchester United target quietly increased his transfer value

Manchester United want to sign a top midfielder in the winter or summer transfer windows next year, and if it were up to most Man United supporters, they’d sign two of them.

As the 2025/26 Premier League season has gone on, Nottingham Forest breakout star midfielder Elliot Anderson has become an increasingly attractive option for Manchester United in the middle of the park.

Anderson is playing a bigger role for the England national team under Thomas Tuchel, too, and he passed his latest audition with flying colors, shining in a start against the Ukraine national team.

Composed throughout the match, Anderson barely put a foot wrong with accurate, progressive passing that constantly kept England ticking over, driving the ball forward and even winning fouls while playing decent defense.

Strong all-around, Anderson’s big day for the Three Lions only reinforced his status as a top transfer target for Manchester United, and with figures around 100 million pounds being thrown around, Anderson only increased his value and cemented his status as a possible nine figure transfer in 2026.
