Manchester United could look to secure a deal for Nottingham Forest star Morgan Gibbs-White in the summer transfer window, according to CaughtOffside - with the Red Devils needing a complete overhaul of their engine room, to avoid another bottom-half finish in the Premier League next season.
Gibbs-White has shone at Forest ever since his move to the club from Wolverhampton Wanderers in August 2022, making 96 top-flight appearances for the Reds so far, scoring 15 and registering 24 assists in that time. That's a superb tally, given how until this season, Forest had been bottom-half strugglers. But that form has seen United interested in his services - and now the Red Devils could look to tempt him with a move to Old Trafford.

Gibbs-White was harshly left out of Thomas Tuchel's first England squad on Friday morning, having registered five goals and six assists for the City Ground side this season as they sit third in the Premier League with just a quarter of the season to go - but his form, whilst evading the Three Lions boss, hasn't gone unnoticed by United.
Sources close to the situation, according to CaughtOffside, state that he is 'firmly' on the radar of United - and although Forest don't want to sell their 25-year-old star, they are hoping to hold talks over a new contract with him soon. However, Nuno Espirito Santo's men could also clear Gibbs-White to leave the club for a fee in the region of £50million, following his superb run of form in the East Midlands.
United have Bruno Fernandes as their midfield maestro in the centre of the park at present, but with Casemiro, Christian Eriksen and Kobbie Mainoo all being linked with moves away from the club, Gibbs-White could be just what the doctor ordered for Ruben Amorim - especially alongside Mason Mount's injury woes, and Gibbs-White could replace the former Chelsea man.
His form, flair and determination have shone through massively at Forest, and that could see them reach the Champions League - which could be a sticking point for United if they fail to win the Europa League and subsequently qualify for the same competition.
