United turn attentions to Serie A's most prolific dribbler

Manchester United are readying a £35m move for Lazio winger Felipe Anderson, according to the Daily Mail.

The Red Devils have been regularly linked Anderson and could now be prepared to pull the trigger on the deal as Louis van Gaal looks to add pace and dynamism to his offensive armoury.

Anderson, 22, is enjoying the best of campaigns with Lazio this season but possess immense potential and boasts all the qualities that United are crying out for up front.

However, there are still big question marks lingering over his consistency and whether Van Gaal is the manager that can make Anderson the player to transform United’s lethargic frontline.

Of players to have featured in at least 10 league matches since the start of last season, no player has required fewer minutes per successful dribble than Anderson in Serie A (every 22.8 mins).
