1 / 3

According to reports in The Mirror, the 23-year-old England international has opted for Manchester City over Old Trafford. City officials are confident of securing Anderson for £65 million, well below Forest’s initial valuation. Despite interest from Chelsea and Tottenham, Anderson’s decision to favour the Etihad Stadium deals a blow to United’s transfer plans.
