Manchester United are chasing Lazio midfielder Felipe Anderson.

The People says United scouts were sent to the Stadio Olympico last week to see the young Brazilian in action.

Louis van Gaal has already added Memphis Depay to his first-team squad but the remit from the 63-year-old Dutchman is clearly to inject some pace into his frontline.

United chief executive Edward Woodward has confirmed there is money to spend this summer and the net is obviously being cast far and wide in search of fresh talent.
