Fred was shown a second yellow card and given his marching orders after a reckless stamp on Alvaro Morata as Manchester United fell to defeat by Atletico Madrid.
The incident occurred in the closing stages of the pre-season friendly, which played in Oslo, Norway on Saturday afternoon, as United trailed Atletico thanks to Joao Felix's late strike. In a hard-fought friendly which had already seen seven yellow cards dished out, Fred first hacked Morata's ankles, getting nowhere near to the ball.
As the former Chelsea striker fell to the floor and collected the ball in his arms, clearly expecting the referee to blow his whistle for the initial foul, Fred hit out with a stamp which connected with Morata's upper right thigh, causing him to yell out in pain.
