Sir Alex Ferguson will reward Anderson for his catalytic contribution as a substitute against Queens Park Rangers with a first Premier League start in three months when West Ham visit Old Trafford on Wednesday.
The Manchester United manager praised the Brazilian midfielder, who came on when United were trailing relegation-threatened Rangers 1-0 and helped the league leaders record a 3-1 victory.
"I thought Ando won the gamefor us," he told MUTV. "His performance was outstanding. He took the game by the scruff of the neck and he was so positive and determined in his play that he picks himself on Wednesday."
