Reports: Nottingham Forest Star Anderson Linked with Shock Manchester United Move — But He Has One Condition
Transfer speculation has intensified around Nottingham Forest midfielder Anderson, with reports suggesting that Manchester United are preparing a January approach for the talented Brazilian.
The 20-year-old, who joined Forest from Santos, has impressed with his creativity, vision, and passing range — quickly becoming one of Steve Cooper’s most promising young players. His performances have reportedly drawn attention from several Premier League giants, with United emerging as the frontrunner.
According to unconfirmed reports circulating on social media, Anderson is open to a move to Old Trafford but would only consider the transfer under specific dressing-room conditions. The rumour claims he wants one particular player to depart before he joins — though neither the player’s name nor further details have been officially verified.
United’s recruitment strategy under Erik ten Hag continues to prioritise young, technically gifted footballers capable of developing into long-term assets. Anderson appears to fit that profile, and a potential deal could be explored further as the January window approaches.
For now, both clubs have made no official comment on the speculation. Forest are expected to resist any approach for their rising star unless a substantial offer arrives, while United fans await clarity on whether there’s any truth behind the emerging reports.
If confirmed, the transfer would mark a major step up for Anderson — and another bold statement from Manchester United in their ongoing squad rebuild
