Manchester United flop Anderson 'could have been the best player in the WORLD', claims ex-Red Devils keeper Ben Foster... but the Brazilian, who loved McDonald's and retired at just 31, 'didn't care about ANYTHING'

Former Manchester United goalkeeper Ben Foster has insisted that Red Devils flop Anderson could have been the 'best player in the world', but believes the enigmatic midfielder was held back because he 'didn't care about anything'.

Anderson spent eight years at United, making 181 appearances and winning seven major trophies - including the Champions League and four league titles. However, he retired last year aged 32 after spending time at Adama Demispor in Turkey.

He failed to reach his potential at United and, according to former team-mate Rafael da Silva, also loved McDonald's - and Foster, another ex-Red Devil, has now opened up on how Anderson stunted his own journey to the top of the game.
