Anderson was once singled out as someone who had top-class potential, but it's fair to say that he failed to become a superstar during his time at Manchester United.
The energetic midfielder made 181 appearances for the Red Devils between 2007 and 2015, scoring nine goals and winning ten trophies.
One of the competition's Anderson won at United was the 2007-08 Champions League, after Sir Alex Ferguson's men edged a penalty shoot-out in the final against Chelsea.

The Brazilian found himself on the bench in Moscow, with Ferguson opting for the classy duo of Michael Carrick and Paul Scholes in the middle of the park.
Anderson came on in the 119th minute, with the specific purpose of taking a penalty, and he's now hilariously revealed just how terrified he was when it was his turn to step up.
Anderson's hilarious 2008 CL final win story
The Man United old boy has recalled what was going through his head as he made the long, dreaded walk towards the penalty spot in the pouring rain.
"I came on to take the penalty. I hadn’t touched the ball,” Anderson told Radio Grenal, via 101greatgoals.
“I was sitting on the bench, Giggs looked and said: ‘Get Anderson to take one’. I said ‘Oh my’. I took the ball, it was the longest walk of my life.
“I came with the ball, there is no way I wouldn’t be shaking. I was already shaking. I was terrified. The story of a club and our fans were on that side."
The 29-year-old, who did manage to convert his spot-kick, continued: "I went to the ball, I got the ball, I looked at that goalkeeper (Petr Cech), who is a giant.
"Cech opened his arms, I said ‘oh, I’m f*****”, I’ll kick it hard, close my eyes and pray for the ball to go in. Then I took three, four steps, I closed my eyes, and the ball passed just by his hand.”
Irrespective of who you support, we all remember how that shoot-out ended, with Chelsea captain John Terry slipping and Nicolas Anelka's decisive penalty saved by Edwin van der Sar.
Anderson, who moved to Old Trafford from Porto for around £20 million, spent 2013-14 on loan at Fiorentina before joining Internacional in 2015.
The once prodigious talent played over 40 games in each of his two full seasons with the Brazilian club and is currently on loan at Coritiba.
