Anderson played for the Red Devils for eight years after signing from Porto in 2007 and won four Premier League titles and one Champions League with the club.

While the player is yet to comment on his situation, his lawyer Julio Cezar Coitinho Jr has been quoted by the Brazilian press regarding the case.

His lawyer is reported to have said the case involved minors but said he couldn’t comment because of a secrecy order.

No further details about the court case have been made public yet.

At the start of this year, Anderson gave an interview with another Brazilian publication where he made reference to having nine children.

After falling out of favour at United following Sir Alex Ferguson's departure, Anderson played for Serie A side Fiorentina and Brazilian side Internacional before retiring aged just 31.
