FULHAM TO CHASE AFTER UNITED'S ANDERSON COME JANUARY

Fulham are reportedly set to step up their bid to sign Manchester United midfielder Oliviera Anderson when the transfer window opens in January.

The 25-year-old Brazilian midfielder has struggled for regular first-team action during his six-year spell at Old Trafford
with chances further limited this term under Sir Alex Ferguson's successor David Moyes.

And Cottagers boss Martin Jol had already been linked with a possible swoop for Anderson before former United assistant
boss Rene Meulensteen became part of the Craven Cottage backroom team. It is thought the Dutchman is also keen to get Anderson on board and the player will no doubt be happy to be reunited with him at the Londoners with the promise of
regular first-team football.

The Cottagers are also being linked with a swoop to take United winger Wilfried Zaha to Craven Cottage so a double loan deal could be on the cards in the New Year.
