A man who has worked closely with the Brazilian during his time at Old Trafford has been impressed by his dedication behind the scenes
Fred's personal trainer Tulio Horta has revealed how much work the midfielder put in to turn around his Manchester United career, insisting "the merit is entirely his".
Big things were expected of Fred when he completed a £52 million ($65m) move to Old Trafford from Shakhtar Donetsk in the summer of 2018.
He was a regular for Brazil at international level at the time, and had also proven himself in the Champions League, but struggled to adapt to the rigorous demands of top flight English football under Jose Mourinho.
