Fred played superbly in Manchester United's 0-2 win against Leeds at Elland Road on Saturday afternoon, stepping in for the suspended Casemiro and looking like a brilliant replacement for his compatriot.
The Brazilian made a remarkable eight tackles for Erik ten Hag's side in Yorkshire as United made amends for the dropped points in Wednesday's 2-2 draw at Old Trafford against managerless Leeds. Fred has often been criticised for his performances at United, however, he has made clear improvements under Ten Hag and Sunday was a clear demonstration of just that.
He was deployed in the holding role in midfield, with the more attacking Marcel Sabitzer and Bruno Fernandes ahead of him and statisticians Opta revealed his contribution after the match with a tweet explaining how he had made the most tackles in a Premier League match in over two years.
