"Everybody has times that are not the best, but I am at home here.[LNB]"I have been at Manchester United for three years. Everyone at the club is nice to me. It is like a family."[LNB]With his United duck now finally broken, Anderson is keen to improve his tally, saying: "I should score more goals, but the way the team plays it can be very difficult to get inside the area.[LNB]"Hopefully I will have more chances in the future and I can score lots more for Manchester United."[LNB]Anderson also admits he remains 'great friends' with departed duo Cristiano Ronaldo and Carlos Tevez, but is confident United are coping without the attacking stars.[LNB]"Ronaldo is still a big friend of mine. Wherever he and Tevez are, nothing will change. We are great friends," said Anderson.[LNB]"They were both very important players for this club. However, this often happens in football and the club has to move on.[LNB]"We still have great players here like Ryan Giggs, Wayne Rooney and Nani. Now we also have Antonio Valencia.[LNB]"United must go forward and not get stuck in the past." [LNB]
