The guy just cannot catch a break.

There comes a point when the endless mocking becomes so cruel that eventually you have sympathy for the subject of your ire and sarcasm.

So maybe that explains the reverse Stockholm Syndrome we’re experiencing towards a former Manchester United player after the latest calamity to befall one of Alex Ferguson’s worst purchases.

Anderson is back playing in his native Brazil now with Internacional since January, but he’s enjoyed a less than spectacular return to his homeland.

The player missed a penalty on his debut and then suffered from altitude sickness in the Copa Libertadores match against Bolivian side The Strongest in February.

Then last night he received a red card for shooting his mouth off at a referee during the 3-1 home loss to Atletico MG in the Brazilian top flight after 60 minutes.

It all began like this as the player aimed a shocked look at the official for flagging him offside
