Dimitar Berbatov, the former well-known striker, shared his opinion on Elliott Anderson's valuation exceeding £100 million after rumors linked him to Manchester City and Manchester United.
On 1 Jun 2026 GMT+7, Dimitar Berbatov, the former famous Bulgarian striker, expressed his views on Elliott Anderson, the English midfielder of Nottingham Forest. Anderson's valuation reportedly exceeds £100 million, approximately 4.385 billion baht, following rumors connecting him with Manchester City and Manchester United.
Dimitar Berbatov stated, "I've heard that Manchester United are interested in Elliott Anderson. I understand the interest; he's a good player with energy, good technique, and hardworking. But a £100 million fee? I think that's too expensive. That price is crazy. He's a talented young midfielder, not a player who has dominated football for the past 5-6 years. This is a mistake in today's transfer market."
"Whenever a young English player has a good season, his price doubles overnight. I like Elliott Anderson—I really do. I think he has the qualities to play for a club like Manchester United. But there's a big difference between being a good player and a player worth £100 million."
"I think Manchester United have made mistakes before by paying too much for players with limited potential. If the club believes in him, that's fine. But paying close to £100 million is truly crazy. With that amount of money, you should buy one of the best midfielders in world football, not a player who hasn't proven himself yet."
