Manchester United midfielder Fred is set to miss as many as three games in the next week as he suffers with injury. The 29-year-old has impressed since Ralf Rangnick’s arrival as interim manager, having struggled to settle into the team beforehand.
The Brazilian’s potential three game absence, as reported by The Telegraph, could see him miss out on clashes against Liverpool, Arsenal and Chelsea. It comes at a poor time for the Red Devils, who are hopeful of making the top four and currently sit in fifth.
A further blow to Rangnick is the fact that the match against the Blues has been moved forward, with the original fixture taking place in May, but having to be changed due to their FA Cup final that weekend. It’s a move that the interim coach wasn’t too pleased with.
