Lazio midfielder Felipe Anderson admits he's surprised a move to Manchester United never happened.

The Brazilian was the subject of a major bid from United 12 months ago, which was confirmed by Lazio chief Igli Tare.

However, United never tried again - which left Anderson disappointed.

"I do not know why does Manchester never tried again," he told Globoesporte.

"But I'm calm, I have a long contract before me, and a good relationship with my club. When I receive a proposal it must be good for me, but especially for Lazio.

"The I will leave Rome, but for now I'm calm."
