9 recoveries/game: Man Utd now "ready" to pursue deal for £75m star, perfect Casemiro replacement

Manchester United are ready to compete with Manchester City in the race to sign Nottingham Forest midfielder Elliot Anderson this summer, according to The Mirror.

The Red Devils are expected to reinforce their defensive midfield department this summer, with Casemiro already confirmed to leave when his contract expires on June 30.

Manuel Ugarte could also contemplate a new challenge away from Manchester, having struggled to nail down a regular starting role under multiple managers this term.
