Manchester United had been desperate to fix their issues in the midfield since the summer transfer window, but they could not find a proper fix for their midfield as of now. Their biggest target for the summer had been Carlos Baleba of Brighton and Hove Albion. The Cameroonian international had been quite impressive ever since joining the Premier League.
But Brighton wanted a price of £100 million for the 22 year old and Manchester United decided to postpone their interest in the midfielder. It is also reported that the former Premier League Champions will come back for the Cameronian International next season to get him at a potentially cheaper price.
Manchester United is potentially interested in Elliot Anderson
Ultimately, Manchester United could not sign any player to fix their midfield issues in the summer. Instead, they purchased three major forwards, Bryan Mbeumo, Matheus Cunha, and Benjamin Sesko. These three forwards cost them around £200 million. They could not concentrate on any other position when they needed strength in each and every position.

They are looking forward to signing the newest English International Elliot Anderson, who has presently active at Nottingham Forest since 2024 and has been doing a tremendous job.
