Gary Neville disagrees with Roy Keane on Manchester United midfielder Fred

Gary Neville heaped praise on Manchester United midfielder Fred, lauding the Brazilian as a bright spark in a difficult season at Old Trafford.

The 29-year-old has been subject to criticism throughout the season but, since the arrival of Ralf Rangnick, his stock has soared. On Saturday, Fred helped the Reds to a point against Leicester City by firing into the roof of the net after Bruno Fernandes' effort was parried into his path by Kasper Schmeichel.

Fred appears to have enjoyed a new lease of life under Rangnick, adding goals to his game and putting in a number of impressive performances. Saturday's equaliser against the Foxes was his fourth goal of the season, the same as the previous three seasons combined.
