Agent Denies That Felipe Anderson Will Sign For Manchester United

Felipe Anderson's agent has backed up claims that Manchester United have not been in contact about the Lazio winger.

Reports in Italy claimed club president Claudio Lotito was overheard saying he had agreed to sell the 22-year-old to United for £46.8m (60m euros) but the Serie A side dismissed those rumours on Monday afternoon.

A statement published on Lazio's official website read: "In reference to statements attributed to president Claudio Lotito regarding the alleged sale of Felipe Anderson, Lazio can confirm they are devoid of any foundation."

And Anderson's representative Juliana Gomes, who is also his sister, has echoed claims that her brother is on the brink of leaving Italy.

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."
