Manchester United new signing Fred started for Brazil on Friday night against the United States as the Samba Boys ran out a 2-0 win.

A video has emerged online showing Fred’s highlights from the game – duration 3.32 – consisting of some neat touches, brave forward passing and willingness to track back and win possession.

He has come from the Ukrainian Premier League and this is a huge leap. It’s positive that he’s establishing himself as a Brazil international.
