Manchester United ‘already in talks to sign brilliant Serie A forward ahead of rivals Chelsea’

Reds planning January additions up front.

Manchester United are reportedly already in talks to sign highly-rated Lazio forward and rumoured Chelsea target Felipe Anderson.

The Brazilian attacker has lit up Serie A in recent times, showing himself to be one of the finest young prospects in Europe with some superb goalscoring and wing play.

United tracked Anderson throughout the summer, with Chelsea also keeping an eye on his situation, but eventually decided to bring in Memphis Depay and Anthony Martial in up front.
