Anderson admits Manchester United could never play defensive football at Old Trafford.
After victory over Roma last night.
Anderson said: "There was no chance of us playing considered football. The fans wouldn't stand for it. At our ground, defensive football is not an option. The fans always push us to attack and so that's what we do."

Rio Ferdinand lived the dream of leading England out as captain on Wednesday night, but there was no fairytale ending as the Three Lions slumped to a 1-0 defeat in the Stade de France.

I feel I’ve improved my performances both in matches and in training. At first, it took me time to get used to the way things work at United, but from then on I’ve just tried to improve step-by-step and give my best for the team. I’m very happy with everything about my life at Old Trafford.
