Former Manchester United assistant coach Chris Armas waxed lyrical about midfielder Fred in a podcast appearance this week, praising his qualities as a team player.
Ralf Rangnick was appointed interim manager at Old Trafford in November and he brought some of his own coaches to the club, adding assistant coach Armas, analyst Ewan Sharp and sports psychologist Sascha Lense to United's backroom staff.
The German and his backroom staff were unable to improve results during their six months spent at the club. United continued to underperform and they finished the season by recording their lowest Premier League points total of all time.
