The Brazilian playmaker has been heavily linked with a move to Old Trafford, but has declared he wants to stay in Italy.
“Whenever we’re approaching the transfer market there’s a lot of talk about my future,” Felipe Anderson told reporters in his homeland, as reported by LaLazioSiamoNoi.
“For two years my name has been linked with several European clubs. I continue to work and think only of Lazio, otherwise I just risk being distracted.
“My goal is to do well with Lazio and the Brazil Olympic team, I’m not thinking about anything else.
“I want to finish the season well, and I want to show my potential so I can be called-up.
“Manchester United? An offer came in last year, Lazio have confirmed that’s the case too. They preferred to keep me though, to have a great season.
“Unfortunately we were unable to repeat our achievements of last year, but we’re continuing to work hard, we’ll see what the future holds.”
