Manchester United star Fred has admitted that life at Old Trafford has begun in a frustrating manner – especially as it has cost him his place in the Brazil national team.
The midfielder joined Jose Mourinho’s side from Shakhtar Donetsk in the summer for £52 million ($68m) but has failed to hold down a regular spot.
Indeed, he has appeared only 10 times in the red of United and has totalled a mere 645 minutes of pitch time.
A consequence of this has been the 25-year-old losing his place in Tite’s Brazil squad just six months out from Copa America 2019.
