Anderson predicts Manchester United exodus

The Brazilian believes the likes of Nani will follow him out of Old Trafford.

MANCHESTER UNITED OUTCAST Anderson predicts several players could leave Old Trafford at the end of the season.

The Brazilian, who joined Fiorentina on loan during the January transfer window, has warned that some of the current squad may want out in search of a new challenge.

Anderson, who arrived in Manchester from Porto seven years ago, failed to earn regular game time under new manager David Moyes with United struggling in their attempts to defend their Premier League title.

Although he is yet to taste victory as a Fiorentina player, Anderson hopes to move to Serie A permanently, expecting others to also eye an exit from United.

“I am sure that lots of players want out,” he said.

“Especially people like myself and Nani, who have been in Manchester for seven or eight years.

“Manchester United is a huge club, a club that does everything for its players, but sometimes a footballer wants to leave just to experience a different way to play football and to learn something as well.

“Playing in Manchester was great, it is a prestigious club with a lot of history.

“But I was there for seven or eight years and I want to show Fiorentina my quality and fight for a spot in the starting line-up.

“I thank all Manchester United fans for their love, but I’m here to stay.”

    In fairness i would say most of the players leaving will be shoved out the door instead of handing in a transfer request.

    Surprised. He could have been bitter. But then again he is only on loan. Needs to play his part until he moves permanently. . . IF

    Good man Shane, if you go back through previous articles relating to utd you will see that I’m actually a Manchester United fan. As a fan I want him, nani and a few more gone because they are useless. How this is slagging utd Id love to hear you explain.

    Finally I am not creating an actual Twitter account as my profession dictates that any social media account is not really ideal. Thanks for your advice now back in your box.
