Anderson eyes long-term Fiorentina stay

Anderson is hoping that he can make his loan move to Fiorentina from Manchester United permanent at the end of the season.

The Brazilian agreed a short-term stay with the Serie A outfit during the January transfer window but has already made three appearances for the Viola.

Given the 25-year-old midfielder struggled for a lack of game time under United boss David Moyes, Anderson feels the move to Italy is exactly what he needs to reignite his career.

Anderson sets record straight

Manchester United midfielder Anderson wishes to make it clear he has not said that "lots of players" want to leave the club.

The Brazilian was quoted in today's newspapers after speaking at a press conference to mark his arrival at loan club Fiorentina in Italy. But Anderson was talking only about his own situation and not about his Old Trafford team-mates when he said: "Sometimes a footballer wants to leave just to experience a different way to play football and to learn something as well."
Anderson posted a message on his own Instagram page and asked ManUtd.com to help convey this to United supporters around the world.
The post read: "I'm shocked and surprised [by] a supposed interview that never existed. I never gave any interview [and did not] say bad things about a club that I love, a club where I [grew] up and that gave me so much. I'm like [a] fan [of the] club, [I] love the club."
