Man Utd prepare fresh £39m bid for Brazil star after holding successful talks with agent
MANCHESTER UNITED are set to renew their interest in Lazio winger Felipe Anderson.
Manchester United have held successful talks with Felipe Anderson's agent
That is according to website Football Insider, who claim the Red Devils have already held successful talks with the Brazilian’s representatives.
And Louis van Gaal’s side are said to be willing to spend £39million to finally get their man ahead of next season.
Lazio were forced to deny reports last month that the club’s president Claudio Lotito had confirmed a deal to sell Anderson to United.
But United reportedly remain keen on signing the Brazil international, despite having a £37.6m bid rejected by the Serie A club last summer.

Felipe Anderson has eight goals to his name this season
"We turned down a €50m (£37.6m) offer from Manchester United on August 27 and nothing has changed since then," said Lazio’s director of sport Igli Tare. "He's worth much more."
The 22-year-old attracted the attention of United with his 11 goals and 10 assists for Lazio last season and has continued his form with another eight strikes this term.
