Erik ten Hag has been told by ex-Manchester United defender Paul Parker that he should choose Fred to start in midfield against Everton on Sunday.
The Brazilian midfielder was given little more than 15 minutes to impress Ten Hag in Nicosia on Thursday night during United's less than routine 3-2 victory over Omonia. After falling behind to a Karim Ansarifard strike, United turned the game on its head in the second half thanks to second half substitutes Marcus Rashford and Anthony Martial.
Nikolas Panagiotou pulled a goal back to ensure it was a nervy ending for the Reds, but they managed to get the job done to secure an important three points in the Europa League. During his cameo, Fred was unlucky not to add to the scoring when his shot was excellently turned away by Fabiano and, according to Parker, he did enough to deserve a start.
