The Sun claims Manchester United are raising their offer for Lazio starlet Felipe Anderson to £35m.

This is certainly not the first time the Old Trafford giants have attempted to poach the Brazilian, as they made several attempts over the summer.

According to today’s edition of The Sun newspaper in England, Manchester United are stepping up another gear with a bid worth £35m (€48m).

Felipe Anderson is still only 22 years old and recently signed a contract extension to June 2020.

This is certainly not the first time the Old Trafford giants have attempted to poach the Brazilian, as they made several attempts over the summer.

According to today’s edition of The Sun newspaper in England, Manchester United are stepping up another gear with a bid worth £35m (€48m).

Felipe Anderson is still only 22 years old and recently signed a contract extension to June 2020.

Primarily an attacking left-winger who thrives in a trident attack, he joined Lazio from Santos for €7.5m in July 2013.

This season he has scored five goals and provided three assists in 25 competitive games for the club.

Last term the Brazilian bagged 11 goals and 10 assists in 32 appearances, but can be infuriatingly inconsistent.

It is worth noting that last season all 11 goals and nine of the assists were all within a streak of just 15 games between December 2014 and April 2015.

There has been a similar pattern this campaign, as all five goals have been crammed in a five-week period between September and October.

Taking this into account and their failure to progress through the Champions League preliminary round, Lazio may well be more inclined to sell than they were over the summer.
