Manchester United

Brazilian midfielder Anderson’s underwhelming seven-and-a-half-year spell at Manchester United appears to be at an end, after teammate Juan Mata revealed that the 26-year-old is returning to his homeland.

“I want to wish good luck to my friend Anderson, who is back to football in his native Brazil. All the best, my friend!” Mata wrote on his blog.

British press reports claimed Anderson, who spent time on loan at Fiorentina last season, was in talks over a move to Brazilian club Internacional.

Phil Blanche of Press Association reports:

“Everton youngsters Conor McAleny and Matthew Kennedy are on Cardiff’s radar but they would both be loan deals.

“Cardiff appear to have won the battle for Chesterfield striker Eoin Doyle with the player heading to the Welsh capital for a medical, a fee which could rise above £1 million (Dh5.5m) having been agreed between the two clubs.”

Southampton

The “everything must go” days are well and truly over at Southampton.

"#SaintsFC's Morgan Schneiderlin will not be joining #AFC on deadline day, contrary to reports in France," says Press Association's Simon Peach on Twitter.
