Anderson could be on borrowed time at Manchester United Football Club.

The 21-year-old cost £18million when he joined the Reds from Porto in the summer of 2007, and he was influential in the Premier League and UEFA Champions League success which followed.

Another league title was won last season, but Anderson has been far from the player witnessed during his debut campaign in England, and he could soon be heading through the exit door.

The Brazilian returned to his homeland without permission having been left out of the squad to face Hull City at the weekend, and this could be the final straw for Sir Alex Ferguson.

Although Vasco De Gama have distanced themselves from bidding for him, The Sun claim the champions are willing to listen to offers for Anderson, with Lyon said to be interested.
