Man Utd are now interested in signing Nottingham Forest captain Morgan Gibbs-White, according to reports.
The Red Devils’ interest in his teammate, Elliot Anderson, has been well documented, but the Daily Mail claim that Gibbs-White is also on the club’s radar ahead of the summer transfer window.
The news that United are keen on recruiting the 26-year-old has led to mixed reactions among supporters on X:
Replacement for Bruno or Mount 🤷🏼👀

Don't really fancy Morgan Gibbs-White. He gives away the ball regularly and misses a lot of easy chances. There are better options in the market.

Both of them would be a really good signing
Gibbs white is a really good player and it would be great to have a player we can rotate with Bruno— Andyunited (@osundeandrew20) February 24, 2026
This guy’s mid
Why not go all in for palmer who’s more attacking and better goal scorer

Gibbs-White would add creativity
Despite playing for a struggling team, the England international has still managed to score 8 goals and provide 5 assists in 37 appearances this season.
Rather than downing tools after a failed move to Tottenham last year, Gibbs-White has stayed professional. He signed a new contract, keeping him at the City Ground until 2028, and has performed to a pretty high standard.
The Man Utd target could be lined up to replace one of two players
With the future of captain Bruno Fernandes up in the air, it is not a complete surprise that the recruitment department are scouting attacking midfielders.
Fernandes has confirmed that he will decide on whether he will stay at Old Trafford after the World Cup. Get a Fernandes kit from Classicfootballshirts.co.uk here
Mason Mount’s continued injury problems may also lead to him being shipped out, so Gibbs-White could arguably be a replacement for either player if they leave the club this summer.
