Brighton's highly-rated former talent spotter Mark Anderson is delighted to be working for Manchester United.

Anderson started at United this week and will cover the south of England and do some international scouting.

"The Manchester United offer doesn't come along every day," he said. "I feel that it is the next part of my development and I feel that I can make a big impact in the London area.

"It goes back some time when the likes of David Beckham came out of London for United, so I want to be able to give some of the young talent another option when the time is right."
