Analysis: Anderson shows his class

Elliot Anderson is Manchester United's number one midfield target to replace Casemiro this summer.

United know that Manchester City, among plenty of others, are also keen - and they are also unwilling to pay £120m for the England international.

However, as auditions go, this was a pretty good one.

Unlike another midfield option Carlos Baleba, who failed to make any impression when he played at Old Trafford for Brighton earlier this season, Anderson shone.

His covering play was efficient, but he also excelled in making the kind of driving runs out of midfield that Casemiro, for all his attributes, can no longer do. Plus his cross for Morato's equaliser was perfect.

Clearly, Nottingham Forest have a desire to drive the price up as high as possible, as they look at a rebuild after dicing too close to relegation for owner Evangelos Marinakis' liking.

While Anderson's exit appears certain, the future of Morgan Gibbs-White is also the subject of intense debate.

Gibbs-White seemed certain to join Tottenham last summer, but instead signed a new long-term deal to remain at the City Ground.

His importance to the side cannot be understated, and his absence from the second leg of the Europa League semi-final with Aston Villa was a significant factor in Forest's eventual defeat.

Wearing a face mask to protect the massive scarring on his face, Gibbs-White ghosted into space inside the penalty area midway through the first half and was only denied by Senne Lammens' feet.

When he did something similar in the second half, his first-time finish found the bottom corner.

So Forest will be reluctant to lose that game intelligence in the same summer as Anderson's industry.
