The Red Devils’ interest in the Nottingham Forest midfielder has been widely reported over recent months, and it is no secret that manager Ruben Amorim admires the England international.
Premier League rivals Newcastle United were forced into selling the 23-year-old in the summer of 2024 for a fee of £35M to avoid a points deduction under the Premier League's Profitability and Sustainability regulations.
According to The Times, United are the favourites, but Liverpool and Newcastle United are also monitoring a move for the young midfielder who is a hot topic at the moment.
Elliott is an almost-guaranteed member of Thomas Tuchel's squad for next summer's World Cup, despite being a surprise call up earlier this year, which has only piqued United’s interest further.
As reported by GOAL, experienced midfielder Casemiro is set to leave the side at the end of the season as he chases a move to Saudi Arabia. His departure opens the door for Anderson who is said to be keen on leaving Forest and moving to a bigger club.
Forest are said to be demanding £100M for the playmaker, which United are ready to pay as they attempt to build a midfielder worthy of challenging for the title.
