Fred gives verdict on his Manchester United nickname

Fred is absolutely loving life at Manchester United. The 30-year-old might not be playing as much as he would have hoped, but remains a key part of the first-team squad under Erik ten Hag.

He has only started two of United's last 10 matches and was brought off the bench again at the weekend in their FA Cup semi-final win over Brighton. That hasn't stopped him smiling though.

While the most talented players often grab the headlines, the Brazilian midfielder is so often the unsung hero, a committed character who gives his all whenever he is needed.
