'''Anderson Luís de Abreu Oliveira''' (born [[13 April]] [[1988]] in [[Porto Alegre]], [[Brazil]]), best known as '''Anderson''', is a Brazilian [[association football|footballer]], currently playing for [[Manchester United F.C.|Manchester United]]. His regular position is as an [[Midfielder#Attacking midfielder|attacking midfielder]], but he can also operate on the left wing.

==Club career==
===Grêmio===
Anderson joined [[Grêmio Foot-Ball Porto Alegrense|Grêmio]] as a youth player and in 2005 he made his first appearance for the team, playing 5 Brazilian Série B games in the second half of the year, as well as playing in the 2005 Gaúcho State Championship in the first half. He earned himself iconic status by scoring the goal that lifted Grêmio back into Serie A in a promotion playoff against [[Clube Náutico Capibaribe|Nautico]]. This goal was particularly memorable because Grêmio only had seven players on the pitch at the time and had just seen the opposition have a penalty saved. The goal gave Grêmio a 1-0 victory in the most unlikely of circumstances.

===Porto===
He joined [[F.C. Porto|Porto]] in December 2005 after only five first team appearances at a national level with Gremio, and made his league debut on 5 March 2006, playing a part in helping the team seal the [[Portuguese Liga|Portuguese Championship]] that season. The following season, he made his [[UEFA Champions League]] debut in Porto's first group game against [[PFC CSKA Moscow|CSKA Moscow]].<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.uefa.com/competitions/ucl/fixturesresults/round=2357/match=1116326/index.html |title=Porto frustrated in CSKA stalemate |accessdate=2007-06-20 |author=Graham Hunter |date=[[2006-09-13]] |publisher=UEFA.com }}</ref> However, Anderson was forced to miss five months of the 2006-07 season due to a broken leg.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/sport/football/article1050349.ece |title=Anderson's Leg Break Hell |accessdate=2008-04-16 |author=ANTONY KASTRINAKIS |date=[[2008-04-16]] |publisher=thesun.co.uk }}</ref>

===Manchester United===
On 30 May 2007, the Manchester United website confirmed that the club had agreed in principle to sign Anderson from Porto for an undisclosed fee, reported to be approximately £18&nbsp;million.<ref>{{cite news |title=Transferts |url=http://www.lequipe.fr/Portfolio/Football/PORTFOLIO_20062007_TRANSFERTS.html |publisher=L'Équipe |date=[[2007-07-10]] |accessdate=2007-07-13 }}</ref> On 29 June 2007, he was granted a work permit to play in the United Kingdom, and the move was completed on 2 July, with Anderson signing a five-year contract to become United's second Brazilian player after the disappointing [[José Kléberson|Kléberson]].<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.manutd.com/default.sps?pagegid={B4CEE8FA-9A47-47BC-B069-3F7A2F35DB70}&newsid=440998 |title=Reds complete triple signing |accessdate=2007-07-02 |author=Steve Bartram |date=[[2007-07-02]] |publisher=ManUtd.com }}</ref>
[[Image:Cesc Fàbregas Anderson.jpg |thumb|left|Anderson against [[Cesc Fàbregas]].]]

Anderson was friends with [[Portuguese language|Portuguese]]-speaking team mates, [[Cristiano Ronaldo]] and [[Nani (footballer)|Nani]] prior to joining the club.<ref>{{cite news |author=Ben Hibbs |title=United to sign Brazilian starlet |url=http://www.manutd.com/default.sps?pagegid={B4CEE8FA-9A47-47BC-B069-3F7A2F35DB70}&newsid=431940 |publisher=ManUtd.com |date=[[2007-05-30]] |accessdate=2007-05-30 }}</ref> He was handed the number 8 shirt previously worn by [[Wayne Rooney]] and made his Manchester United debut on 3 August 2007, playing 45 minutes of a pre-season friendly against [[Doncaster Rovers F.C.|Doncaster Rovers]], which United won 2-0.

Anderson made his competitive debut for Manchester United against [[Sunderland A.F.C.|Sunderland]] on 1 September 2007, before he was substituted at half time and replaced by [[Louis Saha]]. Anderson made his [[UEFA Champions League|Champions League]] debut against [[Sporting Clube de Portugal|Sporting CP]] on 19 September 2007, coming on as a substitute for [[Ryan Giggs]] in the 76th minute. He played the full 90 minutes in the [[Football League Cup|League Cup]] match against [[Coventry City F.C.|Coventry City]] on 26 September 2007, in a team consisting almost entirely of youth and reserve team players.

In the [[2008 UEFA Champions League Final]] in [[Moscow]], [[Russia]], Anderson was brought on as a substitute in the final minute of extra time to replace [[Wes Brown]], and converted United's sixth attempt in the [[penalty shootout (association football)|penalty shootout]]. He followed it up by kicking the ball back into the net, an act which [[Alex Ferguson]] credited with returning the momentum to Manchester United.<ref>{{cite news |title=Fergie looks to build on win |url=http://www.skysports.com/story/0,19528,11667_3601368,00.html |publisher=Sky Sports |date=[[2008-05-23]] |accessdate=2008-05-23 }}</ref>

[[Category:1988 births]]
It appears obvious now that the page [[List of people who died before the age of 30]] is headed to deletion. I support its deletion myself. But this has given me an idea. Do you think it would make sense to have a set of categories called "Age x deaths," all in a parent category called "Deaths by age?" That seems like a better idea. This way, there would be no worry where to draw the line as to what age is "significant" as an age of death, and all ages people live to can possibly be included. There would be no need for one person to create all these categories in one day - they could be built gradually over time. We already have categories like [[:Category:1949 deaths|1949 deaths]]. Why can't we do the same with age? I would like some input. [[User:Sebwite|Sebwite]] ([[User talk:Sebwite|talk]]) 23:18, 23 September 2008 (UTC)

Anderson Luís de Abreu Oliveira (born 13 April 1988 in Porto Alegre, Brazil), best known as Anderson, is a Brazilian footballer, currently playing for Manchester United. His regular position is as an attacking midfielder, but he can also operate on the left wing.

Club career

Grêmio

Anderson joined Grêmio as a youth player and in 2005 he made his first appearance for the team, playing 5 Brazilian Série B games in the second half of the year, as well as playing in the 2005 Gaúcho State Championship in the first half. He earned himself iconic status by scoring the goal that lifted Grêmio back into Serie A in a promotion playoff against Nautico. This goal was particularly memorable because Grêmio only had seven players on the pitch at the time and had just seen the opposition have a penalty saved. The goal gave Grêmio a 1-0 victory in the most unlikely of circumstances.

Porto

He joined Porto in December 2005 after only five first team appearances at a national level with Gremio, and made his league debut on 5 March 2006, playing a part in helping the team seal the Portuguese Championship that season. The following season, he made his UEFA Champions League debut in Porto's first group game against CSKA Moscow.[2] However, Anderson was forced to miss five months of the 2006-07 season due to a broken leg.[3]

Manchester United

On 30 May 2007, the Manchester United website confirmed that the club had agreed in principle to sign Anderson from Porto for an undisclosed fee, reported to be approximately £18 million.[4] On 29 June 2007, he was granted a work permit to play in the United Kingdom, and the move was completed on 2 July, with Anderson signing a five-year contract to become United's second Brazilian player after the disappointing Kléberson.[5]

Anderson was friends with Portuguese-speaking team mates, Cristiano Ronaldo and Nani prior to joining the club.[6] He was handed the number 8 shirt previously worn by Wayne Rooney and made his Manchester United debut on 3 August 2007, playing 45 minutes of a pre-season friendly against Doncaster Rovers, which United won 2-0.

Anderson made his competitive debut for Manchester United against Sunderland on 1 September 2007, before he was substituted at half time and replaced by Louis Saha. Anderson made his Champions League debut against Sporting CP on 19 September 2007, coming on as a substitute for Ryan Giggs in the 76th minute. He played the full 90 minutes in the League Cup match against Coventry City on 26 September 2007, in a team consisting almost entirely of youth and reserve team players.

In the 2008 UEFA Champions League Final in Moscow, Russia, Anderson was brought on as a substitute in the final minute of extra time to replace Wes Brown, and converted United's sixth attempt in the penalty shootout. He followed it up by kicking the ball back into the net, an act which Alex Ferguson credited with returning the momentum to Manchester United.[7]

International career

In April 2005, he played for Brazil in the South American U-17 Championship, and the following October he won the Adidas Golden Ball with his national team at the 2005 FIFA U-17 World Championship.[8]

Anderson made his international debut for the Brazil national football team on 27 June 2007 in their 2-0 loss against against Mexico in Copa América, coming on as a substitute.[9] He made his first start for Brazil on 1 July 2007 against Chile in a 3-0 victory.

In July 2008, Brazil coach Dunga named Anderson to the 18-man squad for the 2008 Summer Olympics.[10] He scored Brazil's first goal in its second group match against New Zealand, a match it went on to win 5-0.[11] On 22 August 2008, Brazil won the bronze medal as they defeated Belgium 3-0.
