United considering cancelling Anderson’s contract
Despite the fact it will cost the club £1.4m the Brazilian could be axed from the squad in the New Year having failed to attract interest from other clubs, reports the Telegraph.
Anderson has fallen out of favour at the Theatre of Dreams and has made just two appearances this season under van Gaal – including the 4-0 Capital One Cup humiliation at the hands of MK Dons.
The 26-year-old joined the 13-time Premier League champions in 2007 from FC Porto in a transfer that eventually cost a whopping £26m, yet has failed to live up to expectations since then.
