Man Utd to seal deal for Felipe Anderson

Manchester United are eager on securing the services of Brazilian star Felipe Anderson from Lazio this summer.

The Red Devils are on the look out for a new attacking player having missed out on Spanish winger Pedro, who opted to join Chelsea.

According to ESPN, United boss Louis van Gaal has told the club's hierarchy to try and secure a deal for the 22-year-old playmaker, who was in sensation form for the Capital outfit last season.

However, it is thought that Anderson could favour a stay with the Serie A outfit, should they qualify for the Champions League group stages.

Lazio head to German side Bayer Leverkusen in midweek with a 1-0 aggregate lead in the Champions League play-off.
