Reports claim United want Lloris included in any deal

Manchester United midfielder Anderson is wanted by Lyon, according to the Brazil international's agents. Anderson's future at Old Trafford has been the subject of recent speculation after he was left out of the squad for United's last two games. Reports have claimed that Anderson paid an unauthorised visit back to Brazil and he is in line to be fined two weeks' wages. He was linked with a move to Vasco da Gama in his homeland, although the club have played down suggestions they could sign the 21-year-old. However, Lyon may be able to offer Anderson a route out of United after the player's representatives confirmed the interest from the French giants. A spokesman for his agents Gestifute told The Sun: "We are working towards some authorisation with United. "The subject could be closed this weekend." There are suggestions that United will look to have the highly-rated goalkeeper Hugo Lloris included any deal which would see Anderson head to Stade Gerland. Anderson has made 96 appearances for the Red Devils since joining from Porto in 2007 and his only goal arrived in the 3-1 win at Tottenham earlier this season.
