The Red Devils could look to use interest from multiple clubs to drive up the price.
Elanga is under contract at Old Trafford until 2026, with United possessing an option to extend the deal by a further year.

He has gone on to play 55 times for the Red Devils, scoring four goals and laying on four assists.
Elanga has also earned 12 caps for Sweden, scoring three goals.
In addition to Elanga, Forest are also chasing a deal for Willian.
