Manchester United is set to purchase a left winger, closely monitoring the "100 million dribbling king"! Anderson joining Manchester City is already confirmed.

Manchester United will introduce a left winger in the summer transfer window, which has already been decided, and current manager Carrick confirmed this at this week's press conference. Italian transfer expert Fabrizio Romano revealed that the Red Devils are intensifying their pursuit of Leipzig's young talent Jan Diomande.

The Ivory Coast winger can play on both sides, scoring 10 goals and providing 7 assists this season, with his greatest strength being speed, earning him the nickname "Bolt of the Bundesliga." With his speed and technique, he is called the "Dribbling King." Additionally, Diomande is also willing to defend, having regained possession 97 times, ranking third among Bundesliga attackers.

Leipzig hopes to retain Diomande, whom they signed from Leganes for 20 million euros, for at least another season. However, as top European clubs prepare to make offers, and agents become active, the risk of losing him this summer is increasing.

Manchester United's transfer director Christopher Vivell, who previously worked in the Red Bull system, is the executive most keen on signing Diomande, similar to how they secured the 85 million euro striker Benjamin Sesko, hoping to prove that the club can sign players not already in the Premier League. However, United will not pay a sky-high price of 100 million euros for this player, as his current level and potential do not justify such a fee.

Other Manchester United executives have their own options, including Everton's No. 10, 26-year-old Senegalese player Iliman Ndiaye. Transfer expert Ben Jacobs stated: "Ndiaye is not a traditional left winger; he can play any position and likes to cut inside, so United hasn't really moved on him. Ndiaye might seek a transfer, but from inside Everton, the message is that it will be difficult for him to leave the club this summer, and they might even offer him better terms."

Manchester United, Liverpool, Arsenal, Tottenham, and Paris Saint-Germain have all been linked with Diomande. Romano noted: "United's plan is to bring in one or two more midfielders. I think United will be very busy with midfield reinforcements. But it's not over; United has more work this summer, for example, they have been monitoring left wingers for some time."

Romano added: "Even when Ruben Amorim was still coaching, United was involved in the race for Antoine Semenyo, but unfortunately Manchester City was his preferred choice. Don't forget the player I mentioned earlier, Diomande. He has performed excellently at Leipzig, and according to my understanding, United sent scouts multiple times to observe Diomande in January. United is definitely monitoring him, but whether there will be further moves, we'll see."

Like Semenyo, United may lose another key player to Manchester City, as Nottingham Forest's England international Elliot Anderson has repeatedly emphasized that his choice is Manchester City. "TEAMtalk" reported that this week, Forest's 2-2 draw with Manchester City, and Anderson's outstanding performance, especially scoring a world-class equalizer, has actually convinced Manchester City to invest heavily in signing him.

Premier League transfer expert Graeme Bailey revealed that Anderson's transfer to Manchester City has essentially been agreed upon, which is already an open secret. "Honestly, over the past few weeks, I've learned from multiple sources that Anderson joining Manchester City is already settled," Bailey said. "Manchester City's interest in Anderson has lasted for months, starting last year. I heard Hugo Viana targeted him last summer, listing him as a player he wanted to sign. People in football generally believe Anderson will only go to one place, which is Manchester City. Although neither Manchester City nor Forest have officially confirmed anything, I think, even though nothing is signed yet, Anderson knows where he will play next season: at the Etihad Stadium."

It is understood that Nottingham Forest hopes to receive at least 90 million pounds in transfer fees for this player, whom they signed for 35 million pounds. Such a price naturally poses no obstacle for Manchester City. Moreover, after Sir Jim Ratcliffe reformed Manchester United's wage system, Manchester City's offered terms have surpassed those of United.
