Despite being at the centre of a potential bidding war between the two Manchester giants, the midfielder’s priority remains firmly fixed on the international stage and his club’s survival battle. “We have the World Cup this summer, my eyes are on that,” Anderson told reporters. “Playing for England, I’ve got the badge on, that’s all I’m thinking about at the moment. All the games are the same, I’m just going on the pitch and doing my best. Fight for whatever strip I have on, that’s all I’m doing.”
