Captain hails youngsters
Manchester United, 13:52, August 26, 2008 ,
Rio Ferdinand is pleased with the way Anderson has settled into the Manchester United team and also has praise for Darren Fletcher.
United captain Rio Ferdinand has told the club's official website how highly he rates Brazilian whizz-kid Anderson.
Anderson only arrived back from a bronze medal winning display at the Olympics with his country on Sunday morning, but the youngster was ready to play again on Monday night against Portsmouth - something which impressed Ferdinand.
"He's a fantastic footballer with great abilities and we've not seen the best of him yet, I'm sure," said Ferdinand.
Ferdinand also had words of encouragement for Fletcher. The Scottish midfielder has been instrumental in both of Manchester United's games so far this season and Ferdinand expects Fletcher to continue his progress.
He said: "Fletcher's been outstanding in pre-season and he's carried that on at the start of the season, getting into the team to score."
