I promise you he could have. Everybody would say he could have been the best in the world at some point,” Foster reflected on Anderson in conversation with ‘UTD Podcast’. 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’. pic.twitter.com/mAU4HtH1Gc— babel (@LABabel6) March 31, 2022 “But he just didn’t care, he didn’t care at all.
