Anderson - Manchester United
Manchester United midfielder Anderson has been speaking to the Brazilian press about the impending Champions League final between the Red Devils and Barcelona, and in particular the battle between Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi.

"It will be a duel between the two best players in the world," he is quoted as saying. "The big winner will be the fan, because there should be many dribbles, nice moves and goals.

"Still, I believe it will be known afterwards as Cristiano Ronaldo's final."

Anderson was one of the happiest looking members of the squad as the Premier League title win was celebrated at Old Trafford last weekend. Now, he hopes to build on a positive start to become a United great.

"This is only the beginning of my career in Manchester, I'm sure," he said. "I have everything available to me to make history here, and will not waste this chance.

"In the future, I want to be remembered as 'Anderson of Manchester United'. I'll follow the lead of players like Paul Scholes, Ryan Giggs and Gary Neville in order to achieve this."
