Manchester United icon Anderson looks unrecognisable 15 years on from beating Chelsea in the Champions League final.<\/p>\n

United fans today would give almost anything to return to the glory days under Sir Alex Ferguson. Certainly one of their greatest ever nights came on May 21, 2008, where a 1-1 draw against the Blues after extra-time led to penalties.<\/p>\n

The Red Devils ended up winning 6-5 thanks to a John Terry slip, which sparked wild celebrations in Moscow as they sealed their third European Cup. And one youngster that left a mark was midfielder Anderson, who tucked away his penalty with his very first kick of the match.<\/p>\n

It was a huge moment for the Brazilian at the end of his first season, announcing his arrival after joining from Porto the previous year for \u00a320million. The Golden Boy winner went on to play for United for a total of eight years, sporting his trademark long braided locks, while bringing flair to the midfield.<\/p>\n

Yet fans would be forgiven for failing to recognise Anderson, now 35-year-old, today. Long gone is the famous hairstyle, with recent pictures showing him with short receding hair and carrying a few additional pounds compared to his playing days.<\/p>\n

The last time the majority of Red Devils fans would have seen Anderson is in January 2015, when he left United. He'd racked up four Premier League winners\u2019 medals, a League Cup, FIFA Club World Cup and Community Shield to go alongside the Champions League victory.<\/p>\n

But his time in England will still go down as a huge \u2018what-if\u2019 given his constant bad luck with injuries. In eight seasons, he made just 105 Premier League appearances and 181 across all competitions, scoring nine goals.<\/p>\n

His 2015 move saw him return to Brazil to play for Internacional, where he remained for three seasons while featuring far more regularly. Anderson then opted to make a comeback to Europe, ending his career with Turkish side Adana Demirspor in 2019 at the age of just 31.<\/p>\n
