Anderson
When he was signed as a 19-year-old in 2007, many things were expected out of Anderson. After all, he was billed as the box-to-box midfielder that the club had been crying out loud for. Although he impressed one and all in his first couple of seasons, injuries, drop in form and an increase in weight meant that the Brazilian never quite lived up to the expectations set forth by the United faithful.
Constantly injured or out of form, Anderson rarely had a string of games in which he showed just why Ferguson made him one of the costliest teenagers in world football. Patience is a virtue that all football fans must have, but after seven-and-a-half years, it looks as though the time has finally come to let him go and look elsewhere in their bid to reinforce their central midfield.
