Brazilian midfielder Anderson has insisted that he is "very happy" at Manchester United ahead of his prospective 150th appearance for the club on Saturday.

The 24-year-old has been included in the Red Devils squad for their Premier League clash against Stoke City at Old Trafford.

"I've been here for five years and I'm very happy here," he told United's official website. "Sometimes I have had difficult moments at the club, but I've always got through those moments and everyone has always helped me – the manager, my teammates, the staff and the fans.

"I know this is the best club for me. I feel confident and I feel very happy in my life. My family is good and I hope my injuries are now behind me.

"I'm 24 now and I've learnt a lot in the last few years, and I understand that to do well in my career, I have to look after myself and train hard. That is my aim."

Anderson joined United from Porto in 2007.
