Man Utd Midfielder Saved From Burning Car

Manchester United midfielder Anderson has been pulled unconscious from the wreckage of a burning car moments before it exploded, according to reports.

Anderson signed to Manchester United for £18m three years ago

The 22-year-old is said to have spent several hours in hospital after the crash on a rural road in in the Geres area of Braga, Portugal.
Witnesses said the Premier League star owed his life to being pulled "lifeless" from the vehicle shortly before it went up in flames.
The Guardian, quoting local reports, said Anderson had spent the night at the Sardinha Biba nightclub before leaving in a £125,000 Audi R8.
The crash is believed to have happened at 7am when the car came off the road and hit the wall of a farm before flying into a field.
The car had just two seats but Anderson had two companions - a friend, named Victor, and a young Brazilian woman.
It was unclear who had been behind the wheel.

Anderson and Alex Ferguson's relationship apparently became strained last season

All three were treated for concussion, whiplash and shock and discharged from hospital later in the morning, reports said.
The woman is believed to have needed the most treatment after the crash, which is being investigated by police.
Portuguese press reported Anderson's agency, Gestifute, said he was returning to Manchester United to continue his rehabilitation.

Anderson was unable to play in the World Cup after rupturing a cruciate ligament in his left knee in February and was not expected to match-ready until September at the earliest.
Last season, Anderson was reported to have been docked two weeks' wages by manager Alex Ferguson for returning to Brazil without permission after they had an argument.
A spokesperson for Manchester United was unavailable for comment.
