Nottingham Forest's hefty £100m asking price and City's firm interest saw Old Trafford chiefs initially concede defeat and look elsewhere for midfield additions.

However, The Guardian are reporting that United remain intent on signing Anderson with it claimed that executives at the club are confident they can beat City to the deal.

Despite the significant funds needed, it has been claimed that Ratcliffe would be prepared to meet Anderson's wage demands.

The 23-year-old is believed to be on a weekly salary of £100,000 at the City Ground and a 50 per cent increase is said to be expected.

City have already lodged a bid that was rejected and are now planning a second offer in excess of £80m, but that is still firmly below Forest's asking price.

A strong World Cup showing for Anderson with England could even see them demand more. He is expected to start alongside Declan Rice in midfield for the Three Lions' group-stage opener against Croatia.
