I missed it, sorry. Well played.It was a tongue in cheek joke.

I still believe once we replace him and people see the difference a player who is much more well rounded and tidy on the ball will make to this team, people will realise they've sensationalised the quality of Fred. He's fine, he's a good squad option, he has plenty of great performances, but yeah we can do better.
If Fred could pass, he’d be the best midfielder in the league.
Was wondering how to describe his passing and you have absolutely nailed it. Fred - The Ball Stabber.Never seen someone so messy on the ball. He’s so unbalanced he’s constantly making stabs at the ball without adjusting his body like a 5 year old girl. He’s a major weakness. Ole would have got rid long ago if it wasn’t for his mobility.
Please get rid of Fred then what are people gonna moan about.....look over your shoulder Donny, be careful what you wish for.....
We spent 72 mil on sancho and his only ability is stepover tricks.
47 seems cheap
We have a 48 yo manager who is still learning his tradeHe is 28 years old and still claims to be learning the trade of his position - why do we bother with him….
Composure on the ball most definitely is not Fred’s strongest quality. I still like him as a destructive force, but the less time he spends on the ball, the better.
I got absolutely slated on here for slagging Fred off and now look everyone has the same opinion as me. He’s absolutely substandard and I don’t know what our board was smoking when they bought him.
He can’t pass, shoot, isn’t good in the air, isn’t strong. He’s garbage. Sell him now.

Knowing us it was solely off the back of his performance against City in CL.Genuine question what was he actually good at prior to joining us? Because surely for a player who has a good engine but fails to do the basics most of the time we wouldn’t have spent £52 million on him?
There must have been something we saw, Or was it just that apparently pep wanted him so we got him.
I mean he’s had decent patches but even then it’s not been great it’s just he’s done well in retrieving the ball and been less of a liability with it.
Highlights the incompetency of the people higher up, think we’ve become better in that regard with the recruitment but them sort of decisions amongst other factors is why we haven’t progressed as much as we should have.Knowing us it was solely off the back of his performance against City in CL.
BundesligaYeah his sole skill of stepover tricks saw him being 2nd top player in bundesliga in terms of G+A over the past 3 years combined, all before the age of 21. Good long term thinking there
It's amazing that Fred gets so many chances while DvdB is right there.
He gets around the park well but feck he can't complete a pass or make a good decision. There are good reasons him and AWB don't play for their country.
Um...Fred played the entire Copa America campaign (as a starter) and current WCQ qualifiers for Brasil (except the one the PL banned players from going to)?He gets around the park well but feck he can't complete a pass or make a good decision. There are good reasons him and AWB don't play for their country.
Which is funny to me because when he was signed I had the impression he was this Brazilian playmaker CM. Wasn't that how he played at Shakhtar?None of Fred's best qualities involve him having possession of the ball to be fair.
That says more about how poorly we've addressed the midfield area, and less of a compliment of Fred. The criticism he gets its more than fair, he won't be missed when we finally, in the year 2027 probably, replace him.He’s better suited for teams that play full throttle all the time. His energy and ability to press would be valuable for a high pressing, high tempo team where he wouldn’t have to dilly dally on the ball so much.
Still, I don’t think he’s the worst player we have in the squad. No other midfielder at Man United can come in and offer what Fred offers. Some of the criticism is a bit harsh tbh.

They heard City was after him same as Sanchez and made the decision to nab them, without thinking do they suit Mourinhos style. Didn't the manager of Shaktar say he couldn't believe we had paid that much money for Fred?I got absolutely slated on here for slagging Fred off and now look everyone has the same opinion as me. He’s absolutely substandard and I don’t know what our board was smoking when they bought him.

If that is true that’s unbelievable.Didn't the manager of Shaktar say he couldn't believe we had paid that much money for Fred?
