Press reports have revealed that Manchester United will not engage in a bidding war with their rival Manchester City to sign player Elliot Anderson during the upcoming summer transfer window.

According to journalist Rob Dawson, Nottingham Forest has set a price of up to £120 million to part with the player, which Manchester United's management considers to be significantly overpriced.

The report indicated that Manchester United already has the financial capability to move in the market this summer, but it refuses to get drawn into bidding wars that could further increase the value of the deal, especially with Manchester City's interest, which could ignite competition between the two clubs.

United's stance reflects a clear approach towards controlling spending and avoiding deals that do not align with its technical and financial evaluation, despite the need to strengthen its ranks before the start of the new season.
