6) Anderson still thinks things will work out at Old Trafford If a criticism can be levelled at The Agent One, it is that the book tends to gloss over a number of Mendes-engineered moves that did not exactly go to plan. Take the chapter on Anderson, who has played just 70 league games and scored five goals for Manchester United since his £26m move from Porto in 2007. “The first four years were fantastic and then an injury set me back, I was very sad and it was difficult for me to recover,” says the portly midfielder, once hailed by United supporters as better than Cesc Fabregas. “This year I’m working really hard to try and regain the confidence of the coaches, because I have a lot of love for this club. I really like Manchester, I’ve spent a long time here and the fans have a lot of affection for me.” Picture: ACTION IMAGES
