Manchester United flop Anderson made his debut for Internacional against Cruzeiro last night, and his spell back in Brazil got off to a terrible start.

The 26-year-old, whose contract with United was terminated in February, came on as a substitute in the second half, and stepped up to take the penalty in the 74th minute.

But things didn't go to plan...his effort was saved by the Cruzeiro goalkeeper Bruno Gassi, and the match ended 0-0.
