Scathing! Anderson lacks brain and since 2007, he still cannot speak in English- Wes brown

Wes Brown played alongside Anderson during his time at Manchester United  

Former Manchester United defender Wes Brown has derided Anderson, revealing that the once promising midfielder is the least intelligent footballer he has played with during his 18-year career in the professional game. 

Brown revealed his astonishment at the fact that Anderson, who looks set to leave Manchester United in January, cannot speak fluent English despite moving to Old Trafford back in 2007.

When asked who the least intelligent player he had played with was the centre half, speaking to Sunderland’s official You Tube channel, said: 'Not going to say anyone at Sunderland because that will get back.

I'd go for Anderson. Just because when I was with him he was there for four years and I honestly still don't think he can speak English.'

The 35-year-old revealed Manchester United's Champions League final match against English rivals Chelsea in 2008 was his favourite game of his career.

He added: 'The Champions League final against Chelsea [was my favourite game]. I managed to play most of that season at right back and we managed to get to the final and win the game.'

In a quick-fire question-and-answer session, Brown said Cristiano Ronaldo or Nani were the fastest players he had played with, Laurent Blanc was the slowest and Ryan Giggs was the best.
