Brazilian midfielder Anderson arrived at Manchester United for £25million with the world at his feet in 2007, but he never lived up to the expectations that he would become one of the best in the business.
The 33-year-old made 105 appearances for United, scoring on just five occasions, and very quickly became a hit-and-miss star at Old Trafford. On occasions, the former Porto prospect showcased glimmers of a world-class player, but on others, he looked like he would struggle in games further down the footballing pyramid.
Andreson’s attitude appears to be the underlying reason why the midfielder was unable to reach his full potential, with many of his former teammates and coaches coming out and speaking of the personality traits that held him back. Mirror Sport takes a look at some of those quotes.
