Anderson Luís de Abreu Oliveira (born 13 April 1988), best known as Anderson, is a Brazilian footballer who currently plays as a attacking midfielder for Manchester United and the Brazil national team.

Anderson began his career with Grêmio, joining the youth team before rising through the ranks. His goal against Nautico during the 2005 play-offs gained Gremio promotion to the Brazilian Série A. Before the start of the 2005–06 season, Anderson moved to Porto, gaining first team status during his two seasons with them. There, he won the Portuguese Liga twice, along with the Portuguese Cup and SuperCup during 2005–06. He moved to Manchester United before the 2007–08 season, and has won the Premier League three times, the 2007–08 UEFA Champions League and the League Cup.

Anderson made his Brazil debut in 2007 during the 2007 Copa América, which they went on to win. He also played for the Brazil Olympic football team during the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing, helping them secure the Bronze medal.

Club career

Grêmio

Born in Porto Alegre, Anderson joined Grêmio as a youth player. He made his first appearance for the team on 23 October 2004, in a 3–1 loss to Internacional in the Brazilian Série A in which he scored a free kick.[3][4] However, Grêmio was relegated and Anderson followed the team to the Brazilian Série B.

It was reported in June 2005 that Portuguese group GestiFute had paid €5 million for 70% of the economic rights to Anderson. On 18 June 2005, Anderson was reported to have signed a pre-contract with Porto.[5][6]

He earned himself iconic status by scoring the goal that lifted Grêmio back into Serie A in a promotion playoff against Nautico in November 2005.[7] This goal was particularly memorable because Grêmio only had seven players on the pitch at the time and had just seen the opposition have a penalty saved. The goal gave Grêmio a 1–0 victory in the most unlikely of circumstances.[8]

Porto

Three months before his 18th birthday he officially joined Porto for €7 million in January 2006.[7][9][10] FIFA prohibits the international transfer of any underage players, subject to the exception that the player is moving to other countries to accompany their parents. Therefore, Anderson's mother, Doralice de Oliveira, relocated to Portugal to facilitate his move abroad.[11] Porto owned 65% of the economic rights, from which Porto would received 65% of the future transfer fee of the player.[9]

He made his league debut for Porto on 5 March 2006, playing a part in helping the team seal the Portuguese Championship that season. The following season, he made his UEFA Champions League debut in Porto's first group game against CSKA Moscow.[12] However, Anderson was forced to miss five months of the 2006–07 season due to a broken leg, as a result of a tackle by Benfica's player Kostas Katsouranis.[13]

Manchester United

On 30 May 2007, the Manchester United website confirmed that the club had agreed in principle to sign Anderson from Porto for an undisclosed fee.[14] On 29 June 2007, he was granted a work permit to play in the United Kingdom, and the move was completed on 2 July, with Anderson signing a five-year contract to become United's second Brazilian player after the disappointing Kléberson.[15] The transfer fee Porto announced was €30 million.[16]

Anderson was friends with Portuguese-speaking team-mates, Cristiano Ronaldo and Nani prior to joining the club.[17] He was handed the number 8 shirt previously worn by Wayne Rooney (who changed to number 10) and made his Manchester United debut on 3 August 2007, playing 45 minutes of a pre-season friendly against Doncaster Rovers, which United won 2–0.[18]

On 1 September 2007, Anderson made his competitive debut for United against Sunderland, before he was substituted at half time and replaced by Louis Saha, who eventually got the winner.[19] Anderson made his Champions League debut against Sporting CP in a 1–0 away win on 19 September 2007, coming on as a substitute for Ryan Giggs in the 76th minute.[20] On 26 September 2007, Anderson made his League Cup debut, playing the full 90 minutes in a 2–0 loss to Coventry City, in a team consisting almost entirely of youth and reserve team players.[21]

In the 2008 UEFA Champions League Final in Moscow, Anderson was brought on as a substitute in the final minute of extra time to replace Wes Brown, and converted United's sixth attempt in the penalty shootout. United won the game 6–5 on penalties to give Anderson the first European honour of his career.[22]

On 21 December 2008, Anderson played 88 minutes of the 2008 FIFA Club World Cup Final, which United won courtesy of a single Wayne Rooney goal, thus confirming them World champions.[23] On 1 March 2009, Anderson came on in the 56th minute of the 2009 League Cup final against Tottenham, replacing Danny Welbeck. He went on to score the winning penalty in the penalty shootout, winning his first League Cup medal.[24] On 18 May 2009, in the penultimate game of the season against Arsenal, United only needed one point to seal their third successive Premier League title and Anderson's second in two years at the club. Anderson was brought on for Wayne Rooney in the final minute, helping United lift the title at home to their fierce rivals.[25]

Anderson scored his first goal for Manchester United in the Audi Cup friendly tournament against Boca Juniors on 29 July 2009. After United were awarded a free kick on the right side of the penalty area, Anderson stepped up and curled the ball into the far top corner of the goal with his left foot.[26] On 12 September 2009, Anderson went on to score his first competitive goal for Manchester United against Tottenham Hotspur on his 78th appearance for the club. He latched onto a loose ball at the edge of the area and hammered the ball into the bottom right corner with his left foot, scoring United's second goal of a 3–1 league win at White Hart Lane.[27] In January 2010, Anderson was believed to have returned home to Brazil without Ferguson's permission and fined £80,000 by Manchester United.[28] He returned to the first-team for a match against West Ham United on 23 February,[29] but after just 20 minutes of the match, Anderson ruptured the cruciate ligament in his left knee and had to be substituted by Park Ji-Sung. He was later ruled out for the remainder of the season, as well as the 2010 FIFA World Cup, after analysis determined that he would be out for the next six months.[30]

On 20 August 2010, Sir Alex Ferguson confirmed that Anderson had returned to training after the combination of an injury and being involved in a serious car accident.[31] He made his return to action in the 3–2 home victory over Liverpool as an 88th minute substitute on 19 September.[32] On 7 December, Anderson scored his first goal at Old Trafford and also first European goal for the club in a 1–1 draw with Valencia.[33] Anderson signed a new four-and-a-half year contract with United on 15 December, keeping him at the club until June 2015.[34] Anderson doubled his United goal tally in one game as he scored twice in a 4–1 second leg semi-final home win over Schalke in the Champions League. The game's aggregate score ended 6–1 to United and therefore reached the final for the third time in four years.[35] In his next game he scored only his second league goal for United, equalising against Blackpool on 22 May 2011, the final day of the league season, in a match that United went on to win 4–2.[36]

International career

In April 2005, he played for Brazil in the South American U-17 Championship. The following October he featured in the 2005 FIFA U-17 World Championship along with Marcelo of Real Madrid and Denílson of Arsenal and he won the Golden Ball as Brazil took silver.[37]

When Brazil were in trouble of going out of the tournament after their opening game defeat against Gambia, Anderson helped to turn their fortunes around in the next match against the Netherlands. Anderson played well against the Dutch, contributing crosses and runs that aided his side. Anderson kept up his level of performance after that, scoring one goal and playing a key role in others, notably setting up Ramon for the first strike against Korea DPR in the quarter-final. After helping to lead Brazil into the final after a 4–3 semi-final victory over Turkey, Anderson lasted only 15 minutes of the final with Mexico, being stretchered off. Anderson made his international debut for the Brazil national football team on 27 June 2007 in their 2–0 loss against Mexico in Copa América, coming on as a substitute.[38] He made his first start for Brazil on 1 July 2007 against Chile in a 3–0 victory.

In July 2008, Brazil coach Dunga named Anderson in the 18-man squad for the 2008 Summer Olympics.[39] He scored Brazil's first goal in their second group match against New Zealand, a match they went on to win 5–0.[40] On 22 August 2008, Brazil won the bronze medal as they defeated Belgium 3–0.[41]
