Gilberto Silva Says There Is 'No Chance' of Fred Leaving Manchester United

Fred's agent, Gilberto Silva, has admitted the midfielder's lack of game time in his first six months at Manchester United has been "worrying," but he said there is "no chance" of the Brazilian leaving the club.

United signed Fred from Shakhtar Donetsk back in June, and he has only been a bit-part player so far at Old Trafford, starting six of United's 17 Premier League games this season.

Following the sacking of manager Jose Mourinho and appointment of interim boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, the Brazilian is ready to fight for his place, according to former Arsenal man Silva, per Caio Carrieri in the Telegraph:

"The fact that he is not playing makes him anxious, but what I say to him is that he must keep working hard on a daily basis, he should be patient because the club is going through a delicate moment.
