Manchester United midfielder Anderson says he's desperate to prove himself at Old Trafford.

Still only 25, Anderson is starting his seventh season at Old Trafford, yet for the majority of those he's been frustrating to watch.

"It's not just the fans who've been frustrated, I've been frustrated," Anderson told the Manchester Evening News. "I never asked to be injured, I don't want to be injured. I want to play every week for Manchester United, I love being here.

"Last season I was doing good for six games, then I started to feel my knee. I felt the pain but I kept playing because I wanted to help my team, but then I had to stop playing. I felt like I was making a step forward and two back. Just when I think everything is fine I get an injury."
