Manchester United boss Alex Ferguson has reassured fans that new signing Anderson will come good and just needs time to settle in.
The 19-year-old joined United in the summer from FC Porto after a whirlwind rise to stardom, playing just 18 games at competitive senior level before being snapped up by Ferguson.
So far Anderson’s Old Trafford career has stuttered somewhat. He managed a run out against Doncaster Rovers in a summer friendly and made his Premiership debut against Sunderland at the weekend.
However the Brazil international failed to make his mark in the 45 minutes he was on the pitch.
Ferguson has no doubts Anderson will begin to show his talents soon.

"He'll take time. He's 19 years of age and is a player with great skill, I'm sure he'll be okay," he told United’s official website.
"I thought he found it difficult against Sunderland because of the speed of the game and the way they set their stall out made it difficult for us.
"Also if you look at the four that played - Anderson, Eagles, Tevez and Nani - they've never played with each other.
"But we were pleased to get 45 minutes behind Anderson. Hopefully, the two weeks before the Everton game will give him a chance to improve."
The manager ensured Anderson got minutes under his belt last night, the midfielder playing in United’s 3-1 defeat to City in the first reserve derby of the season.
