Sir Alex Ferguson: Anderson is the natural successor for Paul Scholes

Sir Alex Ferguson has hailed Manchester United's rising young midfield star Anderson as the natural successor to Old Trafford veteran Paul Scholes.
Anderson, 19, has broken into the United first-team far quicker than expected following his £19million move from Porto last summer.
He starred in the recent 4-0 FA Cup rout of Arsenal, impressed in the 1-1 Champions League draw at Lyon, and is set to start in the crucial Premier League clash at Fulham on Saturday.
"Anderson has exploded on to the scene for us and been absolutely phenomenal," said Fergie.
"We're really pleased with his progress and the evidence is there for all to see.
"When Scholes got his last injury it opened the door for Anderson, and we discovered a boy who had talent.
"He isn't entirely like Scholes, although there are similarities. But he's more of an aggressive running player.”
