Manchester City Midfielder Is On The Radar Of Manchester United: Should Maresca Let Him Go?

Manchester City Midfielder Is On The Radar Of Manchester United: Should Maresca Let Him Go? In a recent interview , former Premier League scout Mick Brown revealed that Manchester City midfielder Elliot Anderson is on the radar of Manchester United. Brown said, “I’ve seen it mentioned that Man United could go after Elliot Anderson if Man City are relegated. “There’s a big ‘if’ in there, because there is a lot of water to pass under the bridge until anything like that can be spoken about, but we can speculate about the possibility for now. “Man United are big fans of Anderson, he was their ideal target to strenghten their midfield in the summer, but the deal wasn’t possible because of the money. “He ended up going to Man City for a record fee, but if they’re kicked out of the Premier League and he becomes available, there is a real chance Man United could take advantage. “Obviously we won’t know the ins and outs of it until they receive their punishment, but Man United could finally bring Anderson in and I’m sure it’s something they will look at.” Anderson’s Impressive Form In English Football Anderson has enjoyed a good run of form at the Mancunian club in this campaign so far. The 23-year-old played in seven matches for Man City last season but has failed to score or create a goal in multiple competitions. The English sensation is currently one of the most talented central midfielders in the Premier League . Hence, it is no wonder that he is generating interest from Man United following Man City’s guilty verdict for breaching the Premier League’s Financial Fair Play regulations.

Anderson is a good tackler of the ball and can scan the danger well to earn possession back for his team inside his half. He usually clears the danger when required and is a tidy passer as well from midfield. The English sensation can even contribute by scoring the odd goal for his team and is full of energy and running at the centre of the park. Anderson is primarily a holding midfielder but can also operate as a box-to-box midfielder or an attacking midfielder if told to do so. He remains an important member of Enzo Maresca’s midfield. However, Man City find themselves in a difficult predicament and could be forced to cash in on most of their first-team stars including Anderson, if they fail to win their appeal. At 23, the English talent has his peak years ahead of him. Still, Maresca might have no choice but to let him go this January or at the end of this campaign.
