Fred has revealed that playing alongside Cristiano Ronaldo at Manchester United has changed his mind over whether his team-mate or Lionel Messi is better.
Ronaldo, who sealed a sensational Old Trafford homecoming in the summer, has regularly battled it out with Messi in the debate on who is the greatest of all time.
And despite the latter holding more Ballon d'Or gongs, seven to five, Fred is backing Ronaldo's corner, hailing the superstar forward as an 'exceptional guy'.
He also admitted that he picked Messi in the past, before spending time rubbing shoulders with United's current talisman over the course of this season.
