Man Utd star Anderson in shock as he survives fireball car crash

Manchester United star Anderson was recovering last night after being dragged unconscious from the burning wreckage of a sports car, seconds before it exploded. The Sun reports the "lifeless" Brazilian international, 22, was pulled to safety after the £125,000 Audi R8 car hit a wall in Portugal. He had been recuperating after treatment to a knee injury.

He is said to have spent several hours in hospital with "concussion, whiplash and shock".

The smash, being probed by cops, happened in the Geres area of Braga. A man and young Brazilian woman were also reported to have been in the two-seater car. It was not known who was driving.

A spokesman for Anderson said he'd suffered "an almighty scare".
