Manchester United send chief scout to track Chelsea and Liverpool target Felipe Anderson

The Red Devil's sent chief scout Jim Lawlor to watch the Brazilian in action on Sunday.

And the attack-minded player didn't disappoint, bagging Lazio's first in a comfortable 2-0 win over Hellas Verona.

The Telegraph claim that Louis van Gaal has shortlisted the attacker as a potential summer signing.

And is undeterred by the fact that the 21-year-old signed a new deal with the Serie A cub just last week.

They suggest that Lazio will demand a fee in the region of £30million should he opt for a move to the Premier League.

However, Liverpool and Chelsea are also said to be tracking Anderson, so Van Gaal could have to dig deep to secure his signature.
