Manchester United are close to signing Elliot Anderson from Nottingham Forest in a £100m deal, beating Manchester City to the midfielder's signature. The 23-year-old is valued at about £100m by Forest and has a contract until June 2029. Anderson's salary at Forest is considerably higher at about £100,000 a week, and he can expect to receive a 50% increase on this regardless of which Manchester club he joins. United have already agreed a €40.5m (£35m) deal with Atalanta for Éderson, the 26-year-old Brazil midfielder, who is expected to be paid approximately £70,000 a week at Old Trafford. Fernandes, who is not part of Portugal's World Cup squad, was paid about £70,000 a week by West Ham but that was cut by 50% after their relegation from the Premier League last month, meaning any salary he would receive at United would fit into Ratcliffe's desired budget. United are also interested in Carlos Baleba but Brighton believe the 22-year-old Cameroon midfielder will remain at the south coast club. Casemiro, whose departure from United in the close season weakened Carrick midfield options, is expected to join Inter Miami in the MLS. Yet as LA Galaxy own the 34-year-old's discovery rights, Inter have to agree compensation with the Los Angeles club before any deal can go through. As Inter also do not have the free designated player berth which would allow the Brazilian's wage demand to be met this is another stumbling block to him joining. But officials at the club are confident this can be overcome, too.
