Anderson is one of best

Cristiano Ronaldo has given team-mate Anderson the perfect Christmas gift — by comparing him to Manchester United greats Paul Scholes and Roy Keane. The 19-year-old Brazilian, who joined United from Porto in the summer, was expected to be eased in to English football this season. But he has become a regular in Sir Alex Ferguson's side with Scholes ruled out through injury. And Ronaldo has been impressed by the maturity of the youngster's performances. The Portuguese winger said: "Anderson is a fantastic player and it's no surprise to anyone at United that he is playing so well. He is young but he has done a great job since he came to us. Anderson is a different player to Scholes and Keane but he has similar qualities to them. Every player has his own style, his own mentality and Anderson is showing people what great qualities he has."Staff reporter, The Sun
