Man United identify Lazio star as answer to their attacking woes

Manchester United are planning a late swoop for one of Serie A's star performers after missing out on Chelsea's Pedro.

With the close of the transfer window just a matter of days away, EPSN report that Louis van Gaal is keen to add Lazio's Felipe Anderson to his stuttering attacking line. The Brazilian has lit up the Italian league with his powerful, pacy game and accomplished finishing - something that United have desperately lacked this season with a measly two goals in three Premier League games - one of which was an own goal. Anderson managed 10 goals and 11 assists for the Roman club last season. Although he is still half the player that United's last Brazilian Anderson was.
