Anderson in the Wembley mix

by Alex Livie , 26 February 2009

Brazilian midfielder Anderson is in the frame to make a return to action for Manchester United in Sunday’s Carling Cup final with Tottenham.

The Brazilian has struggled to find his best form this term and has not played since picking up an ankle injury in the semi-final win over Derby.

With United battling for honours on various fronts, Sir Alex Ferguson is keen to shuffle his pack and Anderson is in the frame to face Spurs.

"The young ones who have played in the League Cup will play in it," said Ferguson. "I'm not changing my mind on that one.

"The middle of midfield is my biggest problem. I've got more options there than anywhere else.

"I've got Anderson, Darren Fletcher, Michael Carrick and young Darron Gibson who is coming on in leaps and bounds. It gives me headaches, but more options."
