'Fred has been fantastic and there’s more to come' - Carrick impressed by Man Utd midfielder

The progress made by Fred at Manchester United this season has been “fantastic”, admits Michael Carrick, with there considered to be even more to come from the £52.5 million ($69m) midfielder.

A Brazil international was acquired by the Red Devils during the summer of 2018, with rival interest from neighbours Manchester City fended off in order to secure his signature.

His arrival at Old Trafford was considered to be quite a coup, with big things expected of the South American in English football.
