It has been reported that Manchester United made a massive deadline day bid for Lazio midfielder Felipe Anderson, it has been revealed.
United failed with a £29.1million bid for Anderson on transfer deadline day, says Calciomercato.com.
Despite the signing of Anthony Martial, many still see United as being short in forward areas, with only Wayne Rooney and James Wilson the other recognised strikers.
It remains to be seen whether Van Gaal will renew his interest in the January window.
