Manchester United will ideally want to add some dynamism to the engine room over the next couple of months and we have long suggested that Felipe Anderson could be the perfect addition.
At 22 he’s already a player of genuine power, pace and invention. The Brazilian has been a revelation since joining Lazio in 2013 with 10 goals in just 45 games from midfield.
He isn’t too dissimilar in style to Paul Pogba in terms of his ability and desire to drive up the park with the ball and really cut into the heart of opposition defences.
The Daily Star reckons that, although the player has recently signed a new contract Manchester United are still keen to make a move.
Manchester United planning £30m move for Chelsea target Felipe Anderson
…the Daily Star Sunday understands that United’s scouts have been hugely impressed with Anderson, 22, and that could lead to a £30m bid.
United boss Louis van Gaal believes Anderson would fit perfectly into his squad.
With Lazio interested in taking Manchester United striker Robin van Persie to Italy this summer there could be some kind of swap deal in the offing. We think that he would be a superb choice for the midfield.
Let’s take a look at the lad in action. Manchester United fans: would you like to see the club sign Anderson or go for a more defensively minded midielder?
