Brazilian midfielder Anderson has been backed by Ole Gunner Solskjaer to come good and become one of Manchester United's greats
Anderson has had a torrid time off late, to say the least. While he had a pretty decent first season, last season he was completely off the boil and struggled big time, most famously in that final in Rome. The start of the season promised much when he scored a good free kick against Boca Juniors but reports of a tiff and non playing time has resulted in rowing concerns over his future as a Manchester United player.
However, he now has the backing of Solskjaer who saw him scoring against Wigan in the reserves. According to the former United hitman, Anderson has all the talent to make it as a Manchester United great.
Ole, impressed with Anderson's performance and determination, says...
"Ando has shown his qualities and attitude. Now, it is a case of him taking his chance when he gets it and putting down a marker to stay in the team. He is going to be a big player for Manchester United. It was all glory for him in his first season, but then you sometimes get a bit of a reaction to that. It happens to a lot of players. But with Cristiano Ronaldo gone, we need players like Anderson to step up and say "here is what all the talk was about when you signed me" It is always going to be a big challenge at United to get a place in the first team. No player at United is going to step aside and say "here, you take my place." You have to fight for it and he is more than capable of doing that as he is proving. He volunteered to play for the reserves. Asking to play just shows his professionalism and determination to succeed."
We all hope so, Ole.
