Manchester United’s summer plans could depend heavily on their final standings in both the Premier League and the Europa League.
A spot in the Champions League would significantly boost their transfer budget, especially with financial restrictions posing a concern.
Manager Ruben Amorim has reportedly submitted a list of priority positions to address, with attacking reinforcements high on the agenda.
While interest in elite-level strikers continues—most notably Victor Osimhen—United are also actively monitoring versatile wide players.
And one name on that list might come as a surprise to fans.
Manchester United are considering a reunion with one of their former academy stars, as Nottingham Forest’s Anthony Elanga emerges as a top transfer target, as per CaughtOffside.
Anthony Elanga, 22, has been sensational for Forest this season, racking up six goals and nine assists, and playing a central role in their unexpected push for a European spot.
One of those goals came against United at the start of this month as Forest trumped 1-0 winners.
His raw pace, direct attacking style and ability to operate across the front line have caught the eye of several Premier League giants, including Arsenal, Chelsea and Spurs.
But it is Manchester United’s interest that stands out, with the club reportedly tracking his progress closely and considering a formal approach.

Anthony Elanga left Old Trafford last summer in search of regular football, and his development at the City Ground has surpassed expectations.
Forest are desperate to hold on to their star man and are even looking at extending his current deal until 2030.
However, reports suggest that a bid in excess of €50 million could turn their heads, especially if financial pressures mount or if they fail to secure European football.
For United, this wouldn’t be the first time they’ve brought back a former player, having done so with Paul Pogba and most recently Jonny Evans.
Elanga’s familiarity with the club, age profile, and current form make him an attractive proposition—especially with players like Antony and Jadon Sancho facing uncertain futures.
If a deal materialises, it would represent a full-circle moment for the Swedish international, and potentially a key step in United’s rebuild under Amorim.
The summer window could mark another bold chapter in the club’s efforts to combine youth, pace, and proven Premier League experience.
