Anderson believed that the end of his career at "Manchester United" team was greatly affected by the injuries he experienced. On Tuesday, the Brazilian signed a four-year contract with his native country's "Internacional" club and will leave England after spending eight seasons there. The 26-year-old defender won four "Premier" league titles with the team since 2007, but was often sidelined due to various injuries. "I played in Manchester for eight years. I would like to thank the club. During the first four seasons there, I won everything: Champions League, "Premier" league and Club World Cup," - Anderson told Guardian. "I experienced a knee injury and returned to the field too soon. I played, but the knees were not equally healthy and the injury recurred." The footballer, previously criticized for his weight, added: "Players are always criticized. In the past, I had quite a few injuries, but now I have to remain silent and respond to critics on the field."
