# PSG failed in last ditch bid to sign Anderson

[![](https://cdn.footballtransfertavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/400x400_andersonnew-150x150.jpg)](https://cdn.footballtransfertavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/400x400_andersonnew.jpg)French giants Paris Saint-Germain have failed in a bid to sign Anderson on loan from Manchester United yesterday, according to the Daily Mail.

The deal was believed to have failed over PSG’s reluctance to pay Anderson’s £40,000 a week wages. The Brazilian midfielder, 21, has been out of favour recently after Sir Alex Ferguson fined him £80,000 for skipping training and taking an unauthorised trip to Brazil. Anderson was not named in the squad for United’s last two games.

Lyon were linked with a move for Anderson last week, with rumours of a swap deal involving Lyon keeper Hugo Lloris. Brazilian club Vasco de Gama were also linked with a move for the midfielder in January.

Anderson arrived at Old Trafford from Porto in 2007 for £18 million but has been struggled for United, scoring only one goal in 54 appearances.

Is there any substance to this? Should this  rumour Fly or Die?
