Despite his reputation, Anderson had some important moments in a Manchester United kit.
He held his nerve in the Champions League final shoot-out against Chelsea in 2008, and against Tottenham in the 2009 League Cup final, not to mention his star turn in United's European semi-final triumph over Schalke in 2011.
These moments were enough to let goalkeeper Ben Foster know that he was sharing the changing room with a special talent. One that, unfortunately went to waste.
'He could have been the best player in the world at one point, I promise you he could have,' the now Watford shot-stopper recently told the UTD podcast.
