Manchester United midfielder Anderson has collected fresh injury.

Back after long-term knee injury, Anderson suffered an ankle injury in the reserve-team's victory over Stockport County yesterday.

The Brazilian midfielder landed awkwardly after taking a shot early in the second half, and left the field. Positively, he was soon back in the United dugout rather than seeking treatment.

United boss Sir Alex Ferguson confirmed this morning: "Anderson came off with a niggle last night but it won't knock him back for long."
