Manchester United midfielder Anderson has posted a note to the club’s fans on Instagram, thanking them for their support ahead of his move to Fiorentina.
.
The Brazilian midfielder underwent a medical today –and is expected to finalise his transfer at the start of next week, once a work permit has been granted.
.
The 25-year-old posted a heartfelt message to supporters of the Premier League champions, before promising to give his all for his new employers.
.
“Thank you Manchester United for all you gave to me,” Anderson wrote. “It was a pleasure and a proud to be part of this tremendous club. I will never forget my great colleagues and friends, all the amazing people that work in the club and obviously the fantastic supporters, always on my side.
.
“Love you all and you always be in my heart. Wish you all the best because we always be together United family!”
.
“Now I have to leave because I really need to play.
.
Thank you Fiorentina for this opportunity and you believe in me. You won’t regret because you trust me 100% and I will give you 100% of dedication, professionalism and quality. Together we will be happy.”
.
Anderson arrived at Old Trafford from Gremio in 2007 but failed to establish himself as a first-team regular during his six-and-a-half years with the reigning Premier League champions.
.
With the 2014 World Cup finals just around the corner, Anderson has little time to force his way back into the Brazil side.
.
However, a run in the Fiorentina team between now and the summer could give Brazil coach Luiz Felipe Scolari something to think about.
