Why so hasty in showing United star the door?

The verdict is still out on  Manchester United star Anderson. In some games he can look like a world beater spawning songs claiming he defecates on a perhaps soon to be Barcelona but current Arsenal midfielder whilst in other games he seems merely a passenger rarely making meaningful contribution apart from tireless running.

The weight of expectation placed on his shoulders prior to his move may have proved too much. He was compared to Ronaldinho although their style of play isn’t that similar at all and many fickle fans who didn’t bother actually look into the player he was feel he is under performing because he isn’t scoring tons of goals (he scored 3 competitive goals at Porto)

Things started going down hill for the Brazilian after a sub standard performance against Barcelona in last season’s Champions League final and after going AWOL this season and talks of a move to Vasco Da Gama and Lyon, a ruptured cruciate ligament ended his season prematurely.

Now in our pursuit of Benfica’s Angel Di Maria he is being touted as a bargaining chip to secure the Argentine winger but am I the only one who thinks it’s a bit too early to call time on Anderson’s United career?

As I have said there are occasions where Anderson fails to impose himself on games and thus draws criticism from both United and non United fans but at 22 he is suffering from most young players worse enemy- inconsistency. Central midfield is one of the hardest positions to play and most top midfielders do not hit top form until their mid to late twenties so why so harsh on Anderson?

We have already seen how a little faith in Nani has paid dividends as he has begun to flourish and ended the season as one of strongest performers, form we hope he will carry on next season so who is to say Anderson can’t achieve the kind of performances expected of him too?

Anderson has a bright future in the game, selling him to Benfica before he has even had a chance to show his worth wouldn’t be wise in my opinion. He has shown he has the ability and once he is able to consistently produce for United, I think the criticisms will end.
