Man Utd urge Sporting CP to take Anderson during Rojo negotiations

Manchester United are offering Anderson to Sporting CP in part-exchange for Marcos Rojo. The Daily Mail says United will see if Sporting have any interest in taking midfielder Anderson in the deal for Rojo.

Nani is a target for Sporting but the player has been reluctant to go back to Portugal and was holding out for clubs in Italy and Spain to firm up their interest.

United have prioritised Rojo as coach Louis van Gaal is eager for a left-sided centre-back who can retain possession and help build attacks from the back.

Anderson rejected moves back to Brazil last week as there were concerns whether the clubs would pay his wages on time.
