Frustrated Fred is annoyed at losing his place in the Brazil squad after lack of club football

Manchester United midfielder Fred has expressed his frustration at losing his place in the Brazilian national team due to his lack of domestic football, confessing the situation has left him 'annoyed.'

The £52 million summer signing, the fourth most expensive in United's history, has struggled to win regular first team minutes under Jose Mourinho.

His start in the unconvincing 1-0 win over Young Boys in midweek was just his eighth in all competitions this season and, after being substituted against the Swiss side, the 25-year-old has completed 90 minutes just twice.
