Fiorentina sports chief Daniele Prade is already planning a permanent deal for Manchester United midfielder Anderson. Anderson, known as 'Andow' in Italy, is on-loan at Fiorentina until June.

"We're starting with a loan deal, but our intention is to stay together for a long time," said Prade.

"We were looking for a different type of midfielder.

"Anderson is great at getting himself into spaces, has a great left foot and is exactly what we wanted."
