Combative midfielder Fred worked with his team-mates at the Aon Training Complex in the first week of July, yet did not travel to Australia with the squad as he was due to marry his partner.
The 26-year-old former Shakhtar Donetsk player has now joined Solskjaer’s group for the second leg of Tour 2019 in Asia and trained at the Singapore National Stadium on Friday afternoon, cutting an enthusiastic and energetic figure in front of at least 2,000 local supporters.
During a press conference to preview Saturday’s International Champions Cup match against Inter Milan, which will be broadcast live on MUTV, Solskjaer was asked to provide an update on Fred’s arrival and the other latecomer, Italian defender Matteo Darmian.
