NO CONTACT: Manchester United have not been in touch about a deal for Felipe Anderson

The Brazilian was heavily linked with a switch to Old Trafford during the January transfer window but no move materialised.

Yesterday, Italian website Calcio Mercato claimed Lazio president Claudio Lotito had saidAnderson would join United for £47m in the summer.

Lotito was quoted as saying: "I bought Felipe Anderson for €8m (£6.3m) [from Santos] and I've sold him on for €60m (£47m). Next season, he's going to Manchester United."

Lazio later released a statement insisting the report was false.

It read: "In reference to the statements attributed to President Claudio Lotito regarding the alleged sale of the player Felipe Anderson, SS Lazio notes that these reports are devoid of any foundation."

And Anderson's sister and representative Juliana Gomes backed up Lazio's statement, saying she had never spoken to United about a deal.

Gomes 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.”
