"Anderson has been absolutely superb. The boy has definitely got something special. There was an urgency to get him once we'd scouted him, even though he'd broken his leg and had been out for four or five months," the United boss told The Daily Telegraph...
"The reports we were getting were saying that he was the best young player in the world. At the time, I was saying, 'For God's sake, let's calm down a bit here.' I knew he had real potential, but I didn't want to put labels on him like that. But we've been delighted with him and he has proven himself to be a true central midfield player.
"He can tackle, he's lightning quick, he's brave and he can pass the ball. What he's got to prove is his goalscoring ability because that's something that Scholesy has always given us."
Anderson, a summer signing from Porto, excelled in the recent 2-2 draw against Arsenal, with Ferguson claiming that he outplayed Fabregas during their midfield clash :)
"Fabregas is going through a golden period at Arsenal, but I thought Anderson dominated that position."
