A summer transfer battle is shaping up between Manchester United and Manchester City, with both sides targeting key midfield reinforcements ahead of the next season.
City are currently leading the race to sign Elliot Anderson, who has emerged as one of their top priorities. While United remain interested, no agreement has been reached, leaving the deal still open.
At the same time, Manchester United have identified Sandro Tonali as a major target. However, securing his signature is expected to be difficult given strong competition and his high valuation.
Manchester City are also closely monitoring Tonali’s situation, potentially setting up a direct contest between the two rivals for the Italian midfielder.
Meanwhile, Arsenal have also entered the race, keeping tabs on Tonali as interest in the player grows across top European clubs.
With the transfer window still some time away, negotiations remain fluid, and multiple clubs are expected to intensify their pursuit as the summer approaches.
