Manchester United are continuing to scout Lazio midfielder Felipe Anderson, but are torn over whether or not to make a summer move.

United sent chief scout Jim Lawlor to watch the Brazilian forward in action for Lazio earlier this year as they beat Verona 2-0 in which he scored.

Lawlor has since returned to Old Trafford to put his report into boss Louis van Gaal, although doubts over whether or not the English club will make a summer move continue.

The 21-year-old recently signed a new deal with the Serie A club and has an asking price of around £30m, a figure which is causing United problems.

Van Gaal believes that he could use that amount of money on a more ‘important’ signing, sticking with his desire to improve in the defensive areas.
