Scholes urges United to move for Anderson
Scholes revealed his admiration for Elliot when speaking to Andy Goldstein and Gabby Agbonlahor on talkSPORT's Sports Breakfast.
"I really liked him when I was at Newcastle,"
"What he's done for Forest has really been Europa League. He's still got to go to that next level and he's done it with England.
"England games are very hard to gauge really because I don't think they're playing the best competition until they get to the World Cup.
"When bigger games come, then we'll get a better idea and he will still have to test himself in the Champions League. But he looks to me like he'd be able to handle it. Absolutely no problem.
"But as I say, I think one or two will be needed, not just the one. "But Anderson and Mainoo, I think I'd be happy with that for the start of next season."
