United midfielder Anderson has spoken to re-assure the clubs supporters about his condition following his brush with tragedy and also inform them of his desire to return to the team.
The Brazilian was involved in a serious car crash on Saturday morning but broke his silence, speaking to the Daily Mail, to tell Red Devils supporters he is okay to continue his return from injury.
“I am very lucky because the accident was serious. I knew the road well, but the car lost control at a curve and we crashed against a wall. I remember people coming to help, which I am very grateful for.”
“I just want to tell United fans I am fine and I will continue my rehabilitation so I can help the team. I’ve had lots of calls and have assured my friends not to worry, but it was a very big scare for me.”
We have backed 22 year old Anderson and want him to succeed at Old Trafford but refrained from commenting on the matter until more facts came to light. Those facts are still unclear but the comments made by Anderson do at least signal that he is serious about returning from injury and reflects favourably on his good relationship with United fans.
