Manchester United's Brazilian midfielder Anderson remains hopeful of securing a long-term future at Old Trafford, despite dropping out of the first-team picture in recent weeks.

The 21-year-old has not featured for the Red Devils for more than a month, amid rumours of a bust-up with manager Sir Alex Ferguson after Anderson returned home to South America.

"The conversations with Ferguson are private but I have explained my situation," Anderson commented. "I went to Brazil to think about my future and not to negotiate with other clubs.

"One of my dreams this season is to make the Brazil squad for the World Cup, but the fact is that if I do not play for United then national coach Dunga is not going to be interested in me.

"This is very hard for me because I need minutes on the field during the coming matches.

"I always had a good relation with Ferguson. He has asked me for more effort and I accept that, but I need more chances to play in the first team.

"I am a professional footballer and my responsibility is to United. Am I happy? I would say I am optimistic. If I play more games then I will be happy.

"Some European clubs have asked about me but, as far as I am concerned, my future is still with United.

"I am not finished here and I'm convinced that I can offer much to this team in the decisive moments of the season."
