Anderson looks set for a Manchester United switch after a deal with Porto was agreed.
The 19-year-old Brazilian will join United subject to medicals and a work-permit – and although he does not qualify automatically for a permit under UK rules, he is almost certain to gain the required permissions on appeal.
“Manchester is the club of my dreams,” stated Anderson to Gestifute.
“Gremio was my first club, but soon I followed to Porto but it still has a big place in my heart, it is a club which is very important in my life – but the fact is I have dreamed of playing for Manchester and now that is realised.”
Anderson is arriving in a deal worth more than £15 million, but he insists he does not want to think about a fee – only about his future at Old Trafford.
“I know my value, in Manchester I will carry on the work that have developed with Porto, but I want to get better and realise my dreams,” he said.
“I am prepared for everything – my motivation is great and the fact you can be in the same team as a great player as Cristiano Ronaldo as well as Rooney and many others, and to be trained by Alex Ferguson is just something that you could only imagine – but now I will realise this.
“What can I say, this is the biggest dream in the world!”
