Anderson told he could have been 'best in the world' at Man United - and why he wasn't

Former Manchester United goalkeeper Ben Foster believes that Anderson had what it takes to be 'best in the world' at one stage of his career.

Foster and the Brazilian played alongside each other at the Theatre of Dreams under Sir Alex Ferguson. The current Watford player did not enjoy the best of times in Manchester and would find later success away from the Reds.

Anderson spent eight years at United but never seemed to live up to the potential that Sir Alex saw in him when he was signed from Porto. One of the high points of both their Reds careers came against Tottenham Hotspur in the 2009 League Cup final.
