The Manchester United midfielder is desperate to leave Old Trafford ahead of next summer’s World Cup in Brazil, with the likes of Porto and Fulham potential destinations.

ANDERSON ASKS FOR TOTTENHAM MOVE

Manchester United have been offering midfielder Anderson to all-comers in recent weeks and it
seems that the Brazilian is equally as desperate for a January transfer away from Old Trafford.

The 25-year-old made a beeline for Tottenham manager Andre Villas-Boas after United’s 2-2 November draw in north London to ask about a
potential transfer to White Hart Lane.

While Villas-Boas had identified Anderson as a leading target in the summer of 2012, the Londoners
have no desire to add the former Porto man to a midfield that boasts Paulinho, Sandro, Mousa
Dembele and Etienne Capoue.

But it is a sign of just how much Anderson has failed to live up to expectations since his arrival
from Porto for around €24 million in 2007.

United are likely to take a huge hit on the money they paid for the Brazilian, who club sources say is unfit and fails to follow tactical instructions.

He has made just four Premier League appearances so far this season, two as a substitute, but still hopes he can feature in next summer’s World Cup in his home country.

Porto have expressed an interest in taking back Anderson while new Fulham head coach Rene Meulensteen may be tempted to reunite with his former colleague.

Anderson’s €95,000-a-week wages mean that United may have to settle for an initial loan deal to get the player off their books, with a move to
Turkish club Galatasaray also a possibility.
