Manchester United midfielder Anderson has been ruled out of action until February with his knee injury.
Sir Alex Ferguson has been going through his team sheet with a red pen, in the wake of Manchester United’s loss to their loss against Manchester City.
Anderson has confirmed his desire to stay at Manchester in a short interview on the official club website.
Following the retirement of Paul Scholes, Sir Alex Ferguson has had some thinking to do with regards a replacement and deciding what is his best central midfield partnership.
With Ryan Giggs the only remaining member of Manchester United’s ‘Class of 92′, Alex Ferguson has announced a desire to ‘begin anew’, by focussing on the development of younger players, such as the Frenchman, Paul Pogba, and midfield duo, Anderson Oliveira and Tom Cleverley.
The Brazilian midfielder Anderson is slowly but surely becoming one of Man United’s main figureheads. During the course of last season the Brazilian national evolved from being just the standard run-of-the-mill midfielder, to a highly skillful and productive player.

Anderson fit and firing
The retirement of Paul Scholes has left Manchester United with a huge void to fill. How do you go about replacing a player whom Zinedine Zidane called “the greatest midfielder of his generation”?
During his Manchester United career, Anderson has had to work extremely hard to get himself in the side. The competition for places has always been fierce.
Anderson scores a 62nd minute goal against Blackpool on the last day of the season.
The new 25 man Premier League squad rule poses a problem for Sir Alex Ferguson where Anderson is concerned.
