Sporting Lisbon are seeking a second Manchester United loan signing.
After securing Nani as part of Marcos Rojo's move to United, Sporting are now eyeing a similar deal for Anderson.
Like Nani, Anderson has found himself frozen out at United under manager Louis van Gaal and been informed it's time to move on.
He has rejected a return home to Brazil at Flamengo over concerns regarding that club's financial strength.
A return to Portugal at Sporting could be an option for the former Porto man, who now has less than a year to run on his United deal.
