Ex-Manchester United star Rafael believes Anderson could've been 'the best in the world' if it wasn't for his love of takeaway BURGERS as he reveals he would yell out to stop off at McDonald's if they passed it on the team coach

Former Manchester United right back Rafael believes his former Red Devils team-mate Anderson could've been 'the best in the world' were it not for his love of takeaway burgers.

Anderson arrived at the club to much fanfare from Porto in 2007 as one of the most promising teenagers in world football.

However, despite being part of four Premier League-winning sides and playing in the nailbiting Champions League final win over Chelsea in 2008, the midfielder's constant battles for form and fitness meant he only racked 118 starts in seven-and-a-half years at Old Trafford before moving back to his native Brazil with Internacional.
