Playmaker admits he dreams of playing for Man United

Felipe Anderson has admitted that he “dreams” of playing for Manchester United amid speculation linking him with a move to Old Trafford.

The Daily Mail claims that Anderson has been a transfer target for Manchester United in the last three windows and that there is still talk of a potential move to Old Trafford.

The Brazilian playmaker made nine assists and scored five goals for Lazio last season as they finished fifth in the Serie A table.

Now, his latest comments are likely to spark fresh speculation linking him with a possible move to Old Trafford this summer.

Speaking to Sport TV, as quoted by the Daily Mail, Anderson said: “Every player dreams of playing for a team like United.

“After my season that was very good in the second year, there has always been a lot of speculation.

“If an opportunity shows up, or when I present myself at Lazio, I have to present myself very well.

“I leave it with my sister who takes care of my things, with my agents. I’m enjoying my vacation now, I don’t even want to think about it.

“Of course it’s my career, my future, but I know the work I’ve done, and even what I have to do on vacation.”

Manchester United are thought to be on the lookout for a number of new signings this summer as the Red Devils prepare for a return to the Champions League for next season.
