Brazilian midfielder Anderson may have to remain at Manchester United due to lack of interest from other clubs.
The 26-year-old who signed in 2007 for £26 million has not made a single first-team appearance under Louis van Gaal, other than a substitute appearance against Burnley last August.
The Red Devils have not received a single offer or have not had a single enquiry made about the former Porto midfielder since the beginning of this transfer window.
Manchester United have stated they may terminate Anderson’s contract at the end of this current season, to help him find a new club and move on from Old Trafford.
Injuries, form and fitness
Injuries, loss of form and failure to prove his fitness have truly ruined his Old Trafford career, with the Brazilian only making 105 appearances since signing in 2007, and scoring only 5 goals.
The 2008 Champions League winner was described as being ‘better than Wayne Rooney’ by Martin Ferguson, Sir Alex Ferguson’s brother and United’s European Scout.
Ferguson scouted Anderson after seeing him impress at Porto as a teenager, and then he was signed during the 2006-2007 season along with Nani from Sporting Lisbon.
Unsuccessful spells elsewhere
Anderson joined Fiorentina last season on loan, and made 7 appearances for the Italian side, but did not impress enough for them to take him on permanently.
Flamengo also showed slight interest in the misfit signing last year, but Anderson turned down a loan move after the Brazilian club picked up a reputation for not paying wages on time to their players.
