“I Have The Quality To Play In The Position Of Paul Scholes”

Brazilian midfielder Anderson has told Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson to save his money and back him.

Fergie has already gone on record to say the Champions are looking to replace Paul Scholes with speculation suggesting Wesley Sneijder is on his way to Old Trafford. However Anderson thinks there is no need:

“I think I’m already there,” he told ManUtd.com. “I’ve played well for Manchester United in the past and I’m confident I have the quality to play in the position of Paul Scholes”.

Anderson was quick to praise his former team-mate but believes he learnt a lot from the former England international.

“He was an unbelievable player – of course I understand that – but I think I’ve learnt a lot from him. I think of him like my teacher. He’s helped me a lot.”
