One of my absolute favorites! His drive forward was a joy to watch sometimes.

If he took your advice he might be a bit fitter.Walk a mile in his shoes before you criticise him.
I actually think exactly the opposite. I think he lucked out joining a very good team under the best manager in the world. He won far more than his effort and dedication merited.I think it was career mismanagement on his part to accept our offer. He knew he wouldn't be the main man with Ronaldo, Rooney, Scholes and Giggs here. He knew it would be hard for him to start as a winger or as a number 10.
Ferguson basically saw him play and thought ''Wow what a wonderful talent I need to sign him! But there is no place here in his position, so I will sucessfully turn him into a defensive midfielder...''
If Anderson had moved to a team built around him which allowed him to play as he used to, he could have been a better player.
I had never looked at it from that angle. His career trajectory after United gives strenght to your point...I actually think exactly the opposite. I think he lucked out joining a very good team under the best manager in the world. He won far more than his effort and dedication merited.
There was something about him that was like able but his application was appalling and he wasted his talent.
He never looked in shape but was allowed to contribute by a manager who valued his potential and the fact he wasn’t a trouble maker. Ferguson would always give time to those squad players who respected him.
I think any other big team would have thrown him out when it became apparent that he lacked discipline with his weight.
Im sure he will be happy about what he achieved, but he won’t be remembered as a great player, he will be remembered as a fun character, and that’s down to him.
Echoed my thoughts. When i saw the link to Anderson on skysports news and saw that he was brazilian, had long hair and was an attacking midfielder, I instantly got excited as it immediately reminded me of Ronaldinho even though I never saw him play.The window where we signed Nani and Anderson was the most hyped I've ever been by any of our transfers, mostly because I'd never seen them play but had heard they were brilliant. Even with one of them having been disappointment and the other a total failure, it's still a nice memory.
I see Fred as his natural progression if he matured and stayed fit.Miss him. Quite a character
He really used to attack the space.One of my absolute favorites! His drive forward was a joy to watch sometimes.
It helped that they were big games. Stood up to Stevie Me and made Fabregas look shite.Unbelievable how patient fans were with him. He lived long off a few decent games.
Don't know I can agree with that, fella. For my money, peak Nani was 2010/11, he was on another level that season, also great the following season and then really fell off a cliff.Walk a mile in his shoes before you criticise him. Especially from his early life to where he got himself. He has won a CL and a couple of PL titles, while playing for the biggest club in the world. It's not only Anderson but even Nani regressed after the departure of Carlos Quiroz. It's not coincidence that they regressed after the coming of Phelan. I have stated that even at that time this is happening. Different players react to different situations differently.
The Jack Wilshere effectIt helped that they were big games. Stood up to Stevie Me and made Fabregas look shite.
~ Mr P. Jones has entered the chat ~if he was as bad as some people here are saying, he wouldnt have stayed almost 10 years
There's no way Anderson's got the brainpower to pull off cryptocurrency scamshttps://globoesporte.globo.com/rs/f...ensao-em-casa-de-anderson-ex-manchester.ghtml
Anderson's house searched by Police in Brazil related to cryptocurrency fraud
Yeah because we don't have a terrible record of holding onto utter thrash for far too long. Just look at some of the players stealing a living in our current squad.if he was as bad as some people here are saying, he wouldnt have stayed almost 10 years
He won the golden boy though, and was quite promising at the beginning.Crap from start to finish. His reputation was born out of the most unexplainable goal I have ever seen and from there, he was the "new Ronaldinho".
His spell with us marked by misplaced passes, bad positioning and lack of end product.
I think some of you have a soft spot for his character, which makes you overlook the fact he was never special or very promising, but frankly, in Brazilian football there's at least one Anderson in every team, so I can't find the same amusement as you guys do.
Best I can say for him is thank you for not missing that penalty vs Chelsea. Most dreadful pen I've ever seen that went in but luck is a good thing to have.
That 8-2 game against Arsenal where Anderson and Cleverley bossed a midfield 3, there was a lot of hope sprung from that game.I seriously thought him and Cleverley would be our midfield mainstay for years at one point. No wonder I suck at draft games
I can't imagine him writing this. Never."I, Anderson Luis de Abreu Oliveira, come to the public to clarify.

I remember early comparisons between Anderson & Fabregas. Some favored our man over Cesc back then!. Anyway he was a good character to have, his driving runs were great to watch and i remember the spunk he had. He was part of one of the greatest United sides ever and can proudly take that to the grave.But I will forever say that he had an insane amount of talent...
He was often like kryptonite to Arsenal’s midfield. That doesn’t mean he was better than Cesc. He was also great at Anfield his first season.I remember early comparisons between Anderson & Fabregas.

Agreed . That penalty in Moscow was something else. Smashed it and followed with a display of passion. I think Sir Alex mentioned this as well.He was often like kryptonite to Arsenal’s midfield. That doesn’t mean he was better than Cesc. He was also great at Anfield his first season.
Anyway, he is a part of some wonderful memories. 4 league titles and a champions league
