Former Manchester United scout Mick Brown has said that signing Nottingham Forest midfielder Elliot Anderson is a no-brainer this summer. He recently had his say while speaking to the press, and fans have been reacting.
According to him, Manchester United must be ready to bend over backwards to bring the England international to the club because he’ll be a guaranteed success at Old Trafford.
Brown added that with Man City and Liverpool also trying to sign the player, MUFC must work hard to get the deal over the line.
His words, “It’s not often a player pops up as a real no-brainer.
Anderson is absolutely one of them and Man United now know they have to bend over backwards to bring him to the club. I don’t think you’ll find a more stitched-on success.
You’ve got Man City and Liverpool sniffing around as well, but from a United point of view, it’s a deal they have to get over the line.
He’s got every attribute they’re looking for in a midfielder. He can pass the ball, he works hard, he gets into positive positions, he’s impressive defensively.
But the problem he has at Nottingham Forest is, he wants to do all of that, all the time. He wants to be their best attacker, best winger, best defender.
In Man United’s case, they want him to come in and take Casemiro’s place, and just focus on using all of that energy and concentrate on 15-yard runs in midfield.
Get close to people, make the tackle, win the ball and get it into the forwards to work their magic.
He needs to contain that energy into a refined position instead of doing a bit of everything like he does at Forest, and he could be one of the best midfielders, of his type, in the world.”
WOW.
Manchester United Football Club, commonly referred to as Man United or simply United, is a professional football club based in Old Trafford, Greater Manchester, England. The club competes in the Premier League, the top division in the English football league system.
Nicknamed the Red Devils, they were founded as Newton Heath LYR Football Club in 1878, but changed their name to Manchester United in 1902. After a spell playing in Clayton, Manchester, the club moved to their current stadium, Old Trafford, in 1910.
Alex Ferguson and his assistant Archie Knox arrived from Aberdeen on the day of Atkinson’s dismissal, and guided the club to an 11th-place finish in the league. Despite a second-place finish in 1987–88, the club was back in 11th place the following season. Reportedly on the verge of being dismissed, Ferguson’s job was saved by victory over Crystal Palace in the 1990 FA Cup final.
The following season, Manchester United claimed their first UEFA Cup Winners’ Cup title. That triumph allowed the club to compete in the European Super Cup for the first time, where United beat European Cup holders Red Star Belgrade 1–0 at Old Trafford. The club appeared in two consecutive League Cup finals in 1991 and 1992 the left and the right, but he’s not got any sense of danger yet, and empties the midfield area too readily.
