Several clubs, including Manchester United and its rival Manchester City, have taken notice of Anderson's impressive form and are reportedly interested in signing him during the summer transfer window.

Carrick commended Anderson's performance, stating that he is a key member of Forest's team, bringing significant value and skill to the field.

He also acknowledged Forest's successful season, which earned them a spot in the Europa League semifinals, despite ultimately falling short of their goal.

Carrick and Anderson share a common background, having started their football careers at the Wallsend Boys Club on Tyneside.
