Man Utd ready to make dramatic change in transfer approach to avoid ‘Elliot Anderson tax’

Manchester United is preparing to radically alter its summer transfer strategy to avoid the inflated costs associated with established Premier League players. Following Elliot Anderson's record move to Manchester City, market prices for star midfielders have risen by 20%. Consequently, United may target rawer recruits if priced out of deals. The club has already baulked at West Ham's £80million valuation of Mateus Fernandes, while facing competition from Tottenham for the player's signature this window.
