Considered one of the most brilliant findings of recent Premier League seasons, Elliot Anderson is approaching a new phase in his career. While the 23-year-old midfielder is attracting the attention of many with his consistent play for Nottingham Forest today, he is likely to appear in the country's biggest projects tomorrow.
Interestingly, two Manchester giants - Manchester United and Manchester City - are among those interested in Anderson. This has already raised the question "which dress suits her better?" among fans.
According to The i Paper, if Anderson had to choose between two clubs, he would prefer Josep Guardiola's team. The reason is simple: City's current project appears to be systematic, concrete, and highly confident in its effectiveness. United is portrayed as a club that has strayed from the path several times in recent years, unable to escape reconstruction - meaning it's not just about money, but about the future landscape.
Anderson's seasonal performances at Forest also prove his usefulness on the pitch: he made 29 appearances in all competitions, scoring 1 goal and providing 2 assists. Maybe the statistics aren't "explosive," but Anderson's main strength lies elsewhere - he gives the tempo, drives the ball, doesn't get lost under pressure, and "holds the game together." Such players are essential for champions.
The main thing is that it won't be easy to take it away. Elliot Anderson's contract with Nottingham Forest runs until the summer of 2029. Transfermarkt estimates its market value at €60 million. So, this transfer won't end in "just interest" - if any club takes a real step, it will require substantial funds and serious negotiations.
The conclusion is this: Anderson faces major decisions ahead. If he truly chooses Manchester's path, fans face another "golden" question - will he reach a new level in Guardiola's hands or will he become a key part in United's recovery? For now, the wind is blowing from the City side.
