Manchester United legend Bryan Robson has been impressed by the progress of Anderson this season.

He told the Observer: "Owen Hargreaves' long-term injury hasn't helped.

"And, like Paul Scholes, Michael Carrick was injured for a while. But Michael's fit now and in great form. And, although he's inexperienced in the role, I like the look of Anderson. I think he'll develop into a really good midfielder."
