Manchester United fans will be approaching tonight's rearranged Premier League game with Brighton with a sense of trepidation after a dour 1-1 draw with Southampton on Saturday but the return of Fred promises to offer a much-needed midfield boost.
Ralf Rangnick will be encouraged by the return of the 28-year-old after he missed the last two games due to testing positive for COVID-19 and he could come straight into the starting XI at the base of the midfield against the Seagulls.
There's no doubt as to why Fred splits opinion among the United fanbase. He ranges from looking like the midfielder United have long yearned for one minute and then resembles the very opposite the next. His inconsistency is maddening for supporters.
