Anderson is a Brazilian central midfield player who came to Manchester United from Porto in the summer of 2007.
Anderson was born in Porto Alegre, Brazil and, as a teenager, played for local side Gremio. During the 2005-2006 season he moved to Porto and helped them win the Portuguese Championship. The following year he appeared for Porto in the UEFA Champions League, but a broken leg then shortened his season. In June 2007 he made his first senior appearance for the Brazil national side. Anderson then moved to Manchester United ready for 2007-2008. Following an uninspiring debut, he grew in confidence. An autumn injury to Paul Scholes increased his opportunities and he went on to make thirty-eight appearances in his first season. Progress wasn't quite as great as anticipated in his second season, despite another thirty-eight appearances.
Anderson is a left-sided player, who plays in central midfield. He is strong and energetic, he can tackle, and he is robust on the ball. He also passes well. His shooting, so far, has been less impressive. The club had to wait until his 78th appearance for his first Manchester United goal.
