Playing Catch Up

Ferguson thinks Anderson needs to be given time to settle in at United.

'He will take time. He's 19 years of age and is a player with great skill. I'm sure he will be okay.

'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, (Chris) Eagles, (Carlos) Tevez and Nani - they have 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.'
