Manchester United are preparing a big money offer for Lazio’s Brazilian attacking midfielder Felipe Anderson.

Manchester United are ready to take advantage of the situation and according to Sky Italia, they are preparing an offer for Lazio midfielder Anderson.
The Red Devils reportedly failed with a bid for the Brazilian earlier in the summer, but in the wake of Lazio’s failure in the Champions League, they are willing to try their luck again.
