Anderson: Harbours Inter hope
I will not hide myself and in future I would love to play for Mourinho at Inter
Anderson
Quotes of the week
Manchester United ace Anderson has risked incurring the wrath of boss Sir Alex Ferguson by admitting that he wants to play for Jose Mourinho and Inter Milan.
The 20-year-old midfielder signed for United in 2007 in an €18million(£15.6million) switch from Porto, although it appears the Brazilian could be waving goodbye to Old Trafford when his contract expires in four years time.
"I am thinking about playing in Italy," Anderson told Tuttosport.
"Italian football is the best in the world and the most intelligent. Every player wants to play in Serie A, because Italians are the masters of football.
"I really like Inter. I have always liked them from when Ronaldo played there. [Massimo] Moratti has always assembled great teams and Inter can win anything with the players they have.
"I will not hide myself and in future I would love to play for Mourinho at Inter.
"My dream is to be coached by Mourinho."
Anderson's words are unlikely to be well received by Ferguson given the rivalry he shared with Mourinho, during the Portuguese tactician's time with Chelsea.
