Carrick believes Anderson is a key player in Nottingham Forest's successful season but warns that his price tag of £100 million may make things difficult for United.
Michael Carrick has praised Elliot Anderson as Manchester United ’s top transfer target, heads for Old Trafford with Nottingham Forest on Sunday. United want Anderson as the cornerstone of their midfield rebuild to replace Casemiro this summer, but are aware that Forest will demand in excess of £100 million for the England star and Manchester City appear favourites to sign him.
While Casemiro will say farewell to Old Trafford in United’s final home game of the season, the man who could fill the Brazilian’s shoes next season will be lining up against him for Forest.
'He's done well,' said Carrick who, like Anderson, also started out at the Wallsend Boys Club on Tyneside. 'I think he's a big part of their team. He offers so much and they've got a really talented and dangerous team. They've had a good season to get to the (Europa League) semi-finals and just fall short.
But you can see obviously he is an important part of their team.
' United could be in the market for three midfielders this summer with Carlos Baleba, Adam Wharton, Sandro Tonali, Aurelien Tchouameni, Ederson, Mateus Fernandes, Alex Scott and Tyler Adams among the other names under consideration
