Reports from the "Fichajes" website indicate that Manchester United is looking to strengthen its midfield by signing young player Elliot Anderson from Nottingham Forest during the upcoming winter transfer window.

The English club is preparing to make an offer estimated at around £70 million, in an attempt to secure the deal before competitors enter the fray, and to enhance the midfield area that requires new blood and youthful talent. Anderson, who is 22 years old, has stood out this season with Nottingham Forest due to his creativity, game control, and ability to press opponents, making him a suitable fit for Manchester United's modern style.

The move by the Red Devils comes amid the team's need to add a young element with a promising future in the midfield, especially with the declining performance of some senior players. Anderson is considered a key option to bolster the club's long-term sports project, despite Nottingham Forest's insistence on keeping the player and his high valuation.

Manchester United is keen to complete the deal quickly before the end of the season, while ensuring to convince the player and the current team with suitable transfer conditions, given the interest from other clubs in the player, including Chelsea and Manchester City.
