Forest sit 17th with 27 points from 26 games in the 2025-26 season, facing a potential summer clearout if relegated. United have joined interest in England international Gibbs-White, a versatile attacker on £150,000 a week with a release clause until 2028, while also targeting midfielder Anderson—who City and Chelsea watch as a possible Bernardo Silva successor.
