Manchester United outcast Anderson to complete Internacional move

 

The midfielder is set to return to Brazil, although Louis van Gaal's side will be forced to pay a six-figure sum to cover the 26-year-old's wage losses

Manchester United midfielder Anderson is finally set to complete a move away from the club and seal a return to his native Brazil with Internacional.

The former Porto star arrived in Brazil over the weekend and underwent a successful medical on Sunday, with the deal set to be announced later on Monday.

Although Anderson will join Internacional on a free transfer, TOP GISTS understands United will be forced to pay the midfielder a six-figure sum to compensate for a loss in wages.

The 26-year-old has long been on the fringes at Old Trafford and has struggled to make any sort of impact in the first-team since Sir Alex Ferguson's departure in 2013.

Having arrived at Old Trafford back in 2007 with a billing as one of the most exciting talents in world football, Anderson has failed to live up to expectations, making just 10 first-team appearances over the last two seasons.

Anderson's United team-mate Juan Mata, meanwhile, has already sent his well wishes to the Brazil midfielder, writing on his personal blog: "I want to wish good luck to my friend Anderson, who is back to football in his native Brazil. All the best, my friend!"
