Anderson has denied that he gave an interview claiming that a number of Manchester United players want to leave Old Trafford at the end of the season.

The 25-year-old will see out the remainder of the campaign at Fiorentina after signing for the Italian outfit on loan during the January transfer window.

After spending over a fortnight in Serie A, Anderson was quoted as saying that numerous United players, including winger Nani, "want out" at the end of the season.

However, the Brazilian midfielder has taken to Instagram to say: "I'm shocked and surprised with a supposed interview that never existed.

"I never gave any interview, much less to say bad things about a club that I love, a club where I grew up and that gave me so much. Shame on you!!!! I'm like a fan and love the club. Goodnight Manchester."

Anderson has spent almost seven years at United since joining the Red Devils from Porto.
