Manchester City signing Elliot Anderson has confirmed that he never considered a move to Manchester United.
He stated that a switch to Old Trafford was never on his mind, despite attempts from some United players to persuade him before he completed his £116 million transfer from Nottingham Forest.

“I was just golfing in Portugal and bumped into a few and had a nice chat and stuff like that, but I had a decision to make and I chose City,” the England midfielder said when asked about his conversations with some United players on holiday.
Anderson, asked if United came close to persuading him to move to Old Trafford, replied: “No.”
He started all of England’s World Cup games except the third-place playoff win over France, including the semi-final loss to Argentina.
He is set to make his City debut in Sunday’s Community Shield against Arsenal in Cardiff.
“No, I’m feeling comfortable,” he said when asked if he was feeling weighed down by his huge price tag.

“I want to show everyone what I can do and try not to focus on it too much. But I’m sure over the season I can show people what I do best.
“It’s been a bit different, but I’m enjoying it,” Anderson said. “I’m taking it all in my stride. Just feeling confident, I’m happy to be here and I’m just looking forward to the season.”
