Anderson Accident

Manchester United midfielder Anderson was fortunate to survive a serious car crash in Portugal on Saturday morning.

The Brazilian spent several hours in hospital after the accident, which occurred in Braga, in the north of the country. Witnesses claimed he was pulled unconscious from the vehicle shortly before it exploded.

It was reported last night that the crash is now subject to a police investigation.

Anderson, 22, had spent the night at the Sardinha Biba nightclub before leaving in his Audi R8.

The crash occurred at 7am when the car came off the road and hit a farm wall before entering a field. Two other people, a man and a woman, were in the car with Anderson. All three were treated for whiplash, concussion and shock.

Anderson, who is currently recovering from a knee injury, is now set to return to United to continue his rehabilitation.
