Brazilian's €45m Manchester United transfer move at risk

Lazio midfielder Felipe Anderson’s proposed move to Manchester United could stall if Louis van Gaal leaves the managerial post at Old Trafford.

The Brazilian midfielder made a strong impression in the Serie A last season when he scored 17 goals in 23 league starts for Lazio. This season hasn’t gone well for him or for Lazio, but he still has four goals and one assist to his name.

Manchester United showed great interest in signing Anderson – who is valued €45m – in the summer but the Red Devils did not make a formal bid for him.
