Manchester United\u2019s planned midfield overhaul for 2026 is taking shape, with a strong shortlist of players being considered as signings.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The only thing missing from Manchester United\u2019s<\/a> 2025 summer transfer window being perfect was a new midfielder, but Ineos are plotting to rectify this in 2026.<\/p>\n

Already, United have agreed to sign exciting wonderkid Cristian Orozco<\/a>, but he will be joined by a big-money midfielder to be placed directly into the first-team line-up.<\/p>\n

Carlos Baleba is one target for United<\/a>, as is Adam Wharton from Crystal Palace. Additionally, United in Focus<\/strong> have exclusively revealed that Manu Kone is being considered by United<\/a> as an outside option. <\/p>\n

However, it is a move to sign Elliot Anderson, which is looking more and more likely.<\/p>\n

Currently playing for a struggling Nottingham Forest side, Anderson has established himself to be one of the best young midfielders in the Premier League.<\/p>\n

United scouts have issued \u2018glowing reviews\u2019 about Anderson<\/a>, as he continues to be closely monitored as a serious option for the summer.<\/p>\n

Now, The Daily Mirror<\/a> has claimed that Forest\u2019s price tag for Anderson is set, with a \u00a375m demand issued to ward off clubs.<\/p>\n

United will probably have no problem paying this come next summer, with Anderson absolutely on his way to being worth the fee.<\/p>\n

Anderson is also being hunted by Manchester City and Chelsea, meaning it will be a fierce battle for the Geordie.<\/p>\n

Manchester United need to make efforts to wrap up Elliot Anderson deal early<\/p>\n

While there won\u2019t be any big additions in January, this shouldn\u2019t mean United stalls efforts until next summer. <\/p>\n

TalkingPoints<\/p>\n

Which midfielder should Manchester United sign in 2026?<\/p>\n

This is because United cannot afford to wait until after the World Cup to make the midfield signing; instead, whoever is chosen needs to be announced on June 1st.<\/p>\n

Anderson looks like a definite for Thomas Tuchel\u2019s England squad, and therefore, his price tag might skyrocket if the World Cup goes successfully for the Three Lions.<\/p>\n

If United chooses Anderson, the deal needs to be done in advance, maybe even in January if Forest\u2019s turmoil continues and he is looking for an escape route.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Manchester United\u2019s planned midfield overhaul for 2026 is taking shape, with a strong shortlist of players being considered…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":139495,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[76],"tags":[18,41221,19,17,132],"class_list":{"0":"post-139494","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-sports","8":"tag-eire","9":"tag-elliot-anderson","10":"tag-ie","11":"tag-ireland","12":"tag-sports"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/139494","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=139494"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/139494\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/139495"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=139494"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=139494"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=139494"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
