Manchester United midfielder Anderson has declared that he is still confident in his ability to perform at the highest level despite his injury problems.

The 24-year-old only managed to make 16 appearances last season due to a cruciate injury.

The Brazilian says that he believes he can return to help the Red Devils win back the Premier League title this season.

Anderson told the Daily Star: "I think everybody knows that if I don't have these injuries I can beone of the best midfield players in England, but when I have an injury I can do nothing.

"We know I've had many problems at Manchester United but now I am back after 25 days of holiday and the knee feels good."

Anderson has already played three times during the club's pre-season tour as he looks to build fitness and form ahead of United's opening game against Everton on August 20.
