Fiorentina confirm Anderson interest

Fiorentina sporting director Daniele Prade has revealed that the club are interested in signing Manchester United midfielder Anderson this month.

The Brazilian is reportedly among those deemed surplus to requirements at Old Trafford, with manager David Moyes said to be ready to offload the 25-year-old and Nani.

He told Sky Sports Italia: "Anderson is a player who Fiorentina likes and is following, but this certainly applies to many other players."

The former Porto starlet, whose contract expires in 2015, has scored nine times in over 170 appearances for the Red Devils during his seven-year stint in England.
