Anderson handed Brazil boost
Reds midfielder Anderson has been called up to Brazils squad for
Februarys international friendly against the Republic of
Ireland.
The 19-year-old has been in superb form in his first season with
Sir Alex Fergusons side, and has played his way into the plans of
Brazil manager Dunga.
The 22-man squad to play in Dublin is comprised largely of young
talents, with Dunga keen to give youth a chance ahead of this
summers Olympic Games.
"I named players of Olympic age before," he said. "It's important
for them to gain experience in the national team environment.
"The upcoming games will be useful to keep watching the men who can
play in Beijing."
Anderson has not featured for Brazil since a brief cameo at last
summers triumphant Copa America campaign.
