Given that his main responsibility was simply to stop an opposition player, Fred enjoyed quite the evening on Thursday.
The Brazilian midfielder, selected ahead of Marcel Sabitzer and in the absence of the injured Christian Eriksen, was incredibly impressive in the Europa League victory over Barcelona. He scored the equaliser in the second leg as Erik ten Hag's side secured a 4-3 aggregate victory over the Catalan giants in the playoff clash.
Fred somewhat struggled in the first leg - which finished 2-2 at Camp Nou - but he was much more assured at Old Trafford on Thursday night. He had a job and he did it. Not to mention helping out at the other end of the pitch, too.
