Unwanted United midfielder Anderson heads to Italy to complete Fiorentina loan

Manchester United’s unwanted midfielder Anderson is flying to Florence ahead of a medical in view of a loan switch to Fiorentina in Serie A.

The Brazilian has told friends he wanted a permanent move to ensure more playing time but that United only wanted to sanction a loan move at this time. 

Anderson left Frankfurt on Thursday morning – having connected from Manchester – and the loan should be in place by lunchtime on Friday.
