The midfielder is not part of Moyes's plans and will be sold in the next transfer window.

Old Trafford bosses are desperate to get him off the wage bill - and Starsport understands United will listen to offers in the region of £8m for the 25-year-old.

     

He has made just two starts this season and four appearances in total after finding himself out of favour in the new regime.

A club source said: "Anderson isn't up to the standards required. He just hasn't fulfiled his potential. If someone makes a decent bid for him in January he will be sold."

     

His departure will free up his £60,000-a-week wages and help Moyes sign a top midfielder next summer.

Anderson joined United in 2007 from Porto for £27m. He was hailed as one of the brightest young talents in Europe and tipped to be a huge success .

But a string of injuries, inconsistent form and a questionable off-field attitude resulting in fitness problems have seen him fail to fulfil his promise.
