Manchester United will have their very own 'mosquito' buzzing around the Wembley pitch on Sunday evening as they bid to stop Newcastle United ending their 68-year wait for silverware. The Magpies will welcome Bruno Guimaraes back to the fold but if Thursday night's Europa League clash is anything to go by the Brazilian is likely to be swarmed by one of the Red Devils' in-form stars - Fred.
The Man United midfielder, who has been an ever-present figure under Erik ten Hag this season, enjoyed a fantastic game against Barcelona in midweek as he succeeded in keeping Frenkie de Jong quiet all evening. Fred's performance was similar to that of former Old Trafford favourite Ander Herrera - who once famously spent an entire game following Chelsea's Eden Hazard round the pitch.
Fred is likely to start against Newcastle on Sunday and Eddie Howe can expect the Brazilian to go toe-to-toe with Newcastle's main midfield threat, and his fellow Brazil international, Guimaraes if Thursday's European outing is anything to go by.
