The midfielder says he loves life at Old Trafford and has vowed to get back into David Moyes' first team, while he is also targeting a place in Brazil's World Cup squad
Anderson insists he is happy to stay at Manchester United and fight for a starting place at Old Trafford. The 25-year-old has struggled for
game time this season under Red
Devils boss David Moyes, and has not
featured since the defeat to West
Brom in September. However, the midfielder, who arrived
at Old Trafford in 2007, says he is
determined to prove his worth to
Moyes. “I have played only two games this
season and I tried to do my very best
for the team. But it is very hard when
you only play a small part now and
then,” he told Manchester Evening
News. “But I am not unhappy. I am enjoying it
and I know I will be ready whenever the
manager picks me. “I haven’t spoken to David Moyes
about my situation because I think I
have a good situation at the moment. I
love this club and I have been here for
over six years. “I am only 25 years old and I have
about seven years football left in me.
So I have time on my side and I am
happy at Old Trafford. “I had a lot of injuries last season. I
have come back now to help United. I
came back in pre-season and felt good
and I have been fit now all season. “I just have to wait for the moment and
when it comes for me then I have to
take that opportunity.” With Anderson having found himself
deemed surplus to requirements for
the majority of the season so far, he
has been linked with a move elsewhere,
with Fulham reportedly showing an
interest. The Brazilian, though, says he is not
paying attention to the speculation
and is instead concentrating on his
football. “I cannot say anything about other
clubs showing an interest. I am at
Manchester United and am a
Manchester United player. I have to do
my job here and work hard every day
to make it work because that’s what I want,” Anderson added. “I am not thinking about moving on. All
I am thinking about is helping my
team, my team-mates and doing the
best for myself. I am a Manchester
United player, I love the fans, I love the
club. I love the way everyone supports the club – it is amazing. It is the best
club in the world.” With his homeland set to host next
summer’s World Cup, Anderson, who
has won eight caps for Brazil, is still
targeting a spot in Luiz Felipe Scolari’s
final squad. “Every player wants to be in the World
Cup. It will be so nice to play in it in
Brazil obviously,” he said. “I have a chance. If I get opportunities
to play for United then I think I could
have an opportunity to play for Brazil
in the World Cup."
