Manchester United No2 Mike Phelan says Anderson's goal scoring performance at Tottenham was the response they wanted from the Brazilian.

Phelan said: “It’s important that players do that. It’s difficult at times to pick the right team because of the quality players we have.

"You’ve just got to be patient and when that moment comes you take it and I thought Anderson did exceptionally well.”

On their clash with Besiktas, Phelan added: “We’re in good shape. We’ve got no issues, we’re all here together, we are going to fly out a little earlier than what we normally do."
