Anderson Attack! is the ultimate fan site for the young Brazillian football star Anderson Luis De Abreu Oliveira, best known as Anderson. He signed for Manchester United in 2007 for a reported fee of £17 million.
His playing position is primarily attacking midfield, but he can play several midfield roles. He has been selected a few times for the Brazilian national team.
Anderson is maturing nicely as a Manchester United player. He has put in some important performances and played some vital roles in winning games, but in his second season at the club the 21 year old has still not scored a goal. So far he has played in over 70 games and the nearest he has come is hitting the post. He has had a fair few near misses, but the luck has just not come for him to score a goal.
In his second season Brazilian Anderson is really maturing as a player. He has not yet scored a goal for the club, but this could be due to his new role. United often play with a lot of forwards – the two strikers and two very attacking wingers. This leaves the team very exposed if the central players attack as well. Anderson’s new role has found him playing more defensive duties along with Carrick or Scholes.
Get free bets and guess when Anderson will score his first goal. There are good odds for most games he plays in because he hasn’t scored yet.

Anderson returned to Manchester United ahead of the Portsmouth game with a shiny bronze Olympic medal. Brazil came 3rd in the Beijing Olympic football after they were beaten in the semi final by rivals Argentina.
Anderson missed the 1-1 draw with Blackburn on the weeked, but Ferguson is hopeful on his fitness for the semi-final first leg against Barcelona on Wednesday night.
Anderson will replace Kaka in the Brazil match against sweeden on Wednesday after a small injury to the world player of the year.
Kaka suffered an injury to his right thigh on Friday. He claimed that he is feeling better but still below usual level.
19 year old Anderson has impressed during an extended run in the absence of the injured midfielder Paul Scholes.
“We’ve been delighted with him and he has proven himself to be a true central midfield player,” said Ferguson.
Ferguson added: “There was an urgency to get him once we’d scouted him, even though he’d broken his leg and had been out for four or five months.
Carlos Queiroz was delighted with the performance of Anderson in their 4-0 victory over Wigan on Saturday. And he shone again in the 4-2 Champions league victory over Dynamo Kiev on wednesday.
Manchester United’s senior players have already pulled Anderson aside to drum into him the dangers of his hectic social life.
There was talk about him being loaned back to a Portuguese side to continue his development, but it looks like he is finally settling in. Much of the early poor displays had their reason though. He was carrying an injury and had just played in the Copa America over the summer.
Lets hope he continues to develop into a fine young player.
MANCHESTER United are to quiz star striker Cristiano Ronaldo after he invited hookers back to his home for a poolside orgy, where Anderson was present.
The girls took a series of photos inside the house on mobile phones — one even videoed and snapped Brazilian midfielder Anderson naked apart from a pair of boxer shorts.
The five girls travelled 60 miles by taxi from Leeds to Ronaldo’s home on the outskirts of Manchester to party with the players, who were celebrating United’s first victory of the season against Spurs this week.
The girls spent around six hours romping with Ronaldo, his team-mate Anderson and several other men in the pool, Jacuzzi and changing rooms.
Anderson is prepared to play second-fiddle to Paul Scholes in the Manchester United midfield this season.
The Brazilian told manutd.com: “He’s a top player with great qualities who has won a lot for Manchester United and I’m looking forward to hopefully playing alongside him. But the important thing is the team. All the players have the same objective and that’s to help the team become successful.”
