Man United reportedly prepare £33m bid for a Brazilian midfielder called Anderson

Manchester United look poised to try and steal a talented Brazilian with the infamous surname to England this summer according to reports on Tuesday morning.

Italian newspapers are reporting that Lazio's Felipe Anderson will be subject to a £33m bid in the summer. La Repubblica say that the club are desperate to add some much needed creativity to their side and have been tracking the player since the last transfer window. The 22-year-old won't be cheap, but with Old Trafford already looking like it will need a serious injection of new blood, as well as perhaps a new manager Anderson is a key priority for the club's owners. It's also reported that the club have been rebuffed in their approach for James Rodriguez, and see the Lazio man as the next best option.
