Manchester United’s midfield plans could be taking a major leap forward this summer as reports suggest they are seriously targeting Sandro Tonali and Elliot Anderson.
Adika posted a video on his X handle highlighting the latest from Fabrizio, claiming the Red Devils have Tonali “very high on their shortlist for June” and that the Italian midfielder is reportedly open to a move.
Anderson, another midfielder linked, remains under strong interest from Manchester City, although United appear ready to compete for his signature. The caption on Adika’s post read:
“Tonali wants to join Man United, Man United is also interested Anderson. It’s actually happening.”
In the video, Adika passionately explained the potential impact of these signings:
“Of course, you want to leave Newcastle. Newcastle, you too, fight back. Liverpool already did it to you. We did it to you. Fight back… As it looks now, it looks like we have gotten our first early deal. The main comfort is it’s not Guimaraes, because I fear that more. But Tonali too, an amazing signing. An upgrade on Kobbie Mainoo. That’s just the truth of the matter. He’s a very, very good number eight. That midfield of Newcastle, it functions, it’s so much better with him.”
He also highlighted Tonali’s maturity and leadership:
“From a very young age, Tonali has been a leader in the team. He was a captain for AC Milan. He’s had his problems at Newcastle, and he has recovered well. So it’s an amazing signing for Manchester United… They are being linked to the right midfield profile. They now understand if they want to dominate and win games comfortably, they need controllers—players like Guimaraes, Tonali, and Elliot Anderson.”

This comes after previous reports confirmed that there would be No January Move for Tonali as He Remains Key to Newcastle’s Plans on February 2, 2026, making this summer transfer window the likely moment for a switch.
Softfootball reported that Manchester United sees Tonali as a vital addition to cover Casemiro’s anticipated exit, while Anderson’s versatility and quality at Nottingham Forest could also provide a significant boost to United’s engine room.
Fans and pundits alike are watching closely as the Red Devils look to secure two of the Premier League’s most promising midfielders ahead of the 2026–27 campaign.
