Manchester United failed to adequately reinforce their attack after letting go stars like Falcao, Robin van Persie, Hernandez and record signing Angel Di Maria in the summer.
Italian source CalcioMercato has revealed that the Red Devils tried to sign Brazilian star Felipe Anderson in the final days of the transfer window and offered $45.2 million to hire his services. However the mentioned bid was rejected.
The 22-year-old Samba star was brilliant for Lazio last season and helped them qualify for the Champions League. Unfortunately, the Serie A side failed to qualify for the CL group stages and lost out in the play-off round to German side Bayer Leverkusen.
The left winger featured in 37 games for Lazio in the last campaign and directly contributed in no fewer than 21 goals (11 goals and 10 assists).
Manchester United still need more firepower in their attacking setup and must look to lure a top quality playmaker in the winter transfer window.

That is how they will end up not buying. They just talk and talk and talk so that people will believe.
get him in ed woodard… The manager obviously rates him if he bid for him previously. Lazio not in champions league so he wont be cup tied.. He could be a great buy and hes still young and developing. We could do with a few silky brazilians…… OLE!
