Anderson leaves Manchester United, signs with Internacional on free transfer

Anderson's time at Manchester United has come to an end, and it's probably best for everyone.

The Red Devils announced Tuesday that the oft-ridiculed, seldom-used Brazilian midfielder has left the club, returning to his homeland in order to sign a four-year contract with Internacional.

Anderson, 26, made an immediate impact after joining the club from FC Porto in 2007, but his influence waned significantly in the aftermath, to the point where he made just 70 Premier League starts during his time at Old Trafford.

He made just one league appearance this season for manager Louis van Gaal, coming off the bench to play 20 minutes against Burnley all the way back in August.
