Manchester United<\/a> legend Teddy Sheringham has urged his former club to sign Nottingham Forest star Morgan Gibbs-White.<\/strong><\/p>\n Since moving to the City Ground from Wolverhampton Wanderers, the 26-year-old has established himself as a talismanic figure. He came very close to joining Tottenham<\/a> Hotspur last summer.<\/p>\n However, the Tricky Trees\u2019 owner, Evangelos Marinakis, refused to let him leave. In the end, Gibbs-White decided to stay by signing a fresh deal.<\/p>\n Although Forest have displayed inconsistent performances this season, languishing in a relegation scrap, Gibbs-White has showcased his qualities.<\/p>\n In 48 appearances across all competitions, the Englishman has scored 15 goals and registered five assists. Moreover, he has helped his side reach the Europa League<\/a> semi-final.<\/p>\n Now, speaking on TEAMtalk<\/span><\/a>, Sheringham has heaped praise on Gibbs-White and said that he would be a shrewd acquisition for Man Utd should they purchase him.<\/p>\n Moreover, the former striker has stated that, alongside Gibbs-White, Forest\u2019s other midfielder, Elliot Anderson, would also be a great coup for United should they buy him.<\/p>\n Sheringham said:<\/p>\n \u201cI really like Anderson at Nottingham Forest, and I really like Gibbs-White as well. When Tottenham were in for him, I was very excited about that. I can understand why Forest wouldn\u2019t let him go because of the calibre of player he is.<\/p>\n \u201cHe gets forward, he\u2019s got great tenacity, wants to fight people, and the aggression and will-to-win comes out in him. I think he\u2019s a top, top player. Could they [United] get them both? Money talks, doesn\u2019t it, and what a readymade duo that would be to add to the Manchester United squad.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n With Gibbs-White\u2019s current contract set to run until 2028, Forest aren\u2019t in any rush to sell him and have slapped a whopping \u00a380m price tag on his head to keep the vultures away.<\/p>\n Man Utd currently have Bruno Fernandes and Mason Mount as options to deploy in the creative midfield position. However, Mount has struggled with fitness problems since joining from Chelsea<\/a>.<\/p>\n On the other hand, Fernandes is set to turn 33 next year, and his existing deal will expire at the end of next season. So, Man Utd could do with signing a new CAM this summer.<\/p>\n Gibbs-White has shown glimpses of his qualities in the Premier League<\/a> and is currently at the prime stage of his career. So, he would be a statement acquisition for Man Utd should they sign him.<\/p>\n However, it is going to be interesting to see whether the Old Trafford club eventually listen to Sheringham\u2019s advice and make a move to secure his service this summer.<\/p>\n \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t![\"Rememore](\"https:\/\/football-talk.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/FootballTalk_New_Chapter-rememore.png\")
