Felipe Anderson’s agent speaks out on Brazil star's £47m move to Manchester United
FELIPE ANDERSON’S agent insists Manchester United have not been in contact over the Lazio winger.
Felipe Anderson's move to United was denied by Lazio
He was quoted as saying: "Felipe Anderson will move to Manchester United next season, for €60 million (£47m).
"I bought Felipe Anderson for €8m (£6.2m), and I’ve already sold him on for €60m (£47m)."
But the Italian club issued a swift denial saying no deal was done.
“In reference to statements attributed to President Claudio Lotito regarding the alleged sale of the player Felipe Anderson, the S.S. Lazio noted that these are devoid of any foundation,” a statement read.

And Anderson’s representative Juliana Gomes backed the statement but called the link an honour.
She told Italian website Cittaceleste.it: “Lazio have already denied the report, and I know nothing. Felipe is still concentrated on being here.
“He works hard and his head is at Lazio. We are honoured to be linked with United, but they have never called.”
