I approve of the name, the nationality and position. Solid youtube video aside from the dodgy music, so it's a yes from me.

A lefty, Brazillian named Anderson with the tendency to put weight. Yeah, do not want.

Looking at that video, the standard of defenders in Italy is abysmal

Seems pretty quick from the video, but a winger with pace and good dribbling ability to be able to get past a man consistently and make chances is exactly what we need on the left. As good as Young has been, long term he should only be a squad player like Fellaini really. This guy is only 21 and only really started getting consistent starts in December according to whoscored but since then he has a goal or assist in all but 3 games (9 goals and 7 assists in his last 12 games). To be fair though, that's the extent of what I know of him. Don't ever watch Lazio.

Fellaini been a star for us this season and still should only be a squad player. :rolleyes:

Where we going to play him?

I'd imagine the system we use now is here to stay and we already have Di Maria, Mata, Januzaj and Young likely won't be sold. There's also a lot of talk of us signing Depay. That's 5 and it's not outside the realm of possibility that Rooney sometimes plays out wide to accommodate RVP.

Yes, if we are to return to where we were he can't be a regular starter, we need to upgrade, but there's nothing wrong with being a squad player like Park or Young.

I imagine him, Firmino and Memphis are all being scouted for the same role and we'll pick just one to actually buy, unless Di Maria leaves.

Long term I mean, he's been great recently and should be starting this season, but you can't say it's not a position that we'll look to improve on. He'll still be a useful player but I don't think he'll be someone who will be seen as an automatic starter, I don't think Van Gaal sees him as that long term either. Young has been even better then him this season overall IMO but he is still someone who we will probably look to improve upon in the team.

Doesn't really seem like a Van Gaal type signing if I'm honest.

Having never seen him, that YouTube video makes me think about how poor Italian defenders are.

Cuadrado looked excellent in Italy too, and so is Salah, both of whom have looked like Donkeys for Chelsea.

Where does he even play?

People commenting on the level of the seria a defenders are probably the same ones creaming themselves over Pogba or Dybala. Funny that they play in the same shite league too.

I know him from Santos. Not united caliber, Serie A is about right for him. Or at least wait for him to repeat a season like this.

he is brazilian. According to @Revan, van Gaal doesnt like them. So this is a no go. @Bojan
It's true.

We were also apparently scouting De Vrij according to the papers. Has he been any good for Lazio? We were linked with him before he moved there.
