Finally finding his feet at this level, hopefully he can keep improving and provide consistent performances. Him and McTominay have a good understanding together, when Pogba comes back that 3 will hopefully stay fit and we’ll start to dominate midfield more often than not.

He was good and fought well, and then I think of that Alli goal and it makes me angry how easily him and Young were fooled.
His first touch has improved a lot therefore he has cut out his Brain dead mistakes in dangerous areas. My God, the guy can run the whole day. His work rate is immense
Agreed. On paper Sissoko and Ndombele (latter at least after for winks) is a daunting duo to defend against. We'd worry about his physicality and ability to hold his own but I thought he closed them down well, shielded the ball with good strength and I guess more obviously, improved his pass completion by finding players frequently both forwards and square to him.
Hope he can kick on and be a long term player for us, he's likeable the way he gets about and shows some vocal spirit on the game.
Incredible game, in my opinion. Gave him a 9 in the ratings. I don't think the goal was his fault specifically, it was a collective mistake from a defensive point of view.
Great match. Sometimes his passes are a total miss, but often he chooses the unexpected and opening pass.
Also till we dropped deep, it was them who struggled to cope with Fred. He was everywhere, winning possession, distributing ball and was a busy bee.
He's been good for a while now, has settling in, once we have our full team back, we could be quite good.
Was sublime skill by Alli and I thought he evened it out later in the game with way he busted a gut to track back and stab away a great Spurs chance as last man.
Keep it up lad!
Best I’ve seen him play. Still looks lost at times. Thought McT and him were good.
Best game in a United shirt - he was everywhere.
The odd misplaced pass aside he was good tonight. Didn't lose possession stupidly in the middle which is a huge success unlike McTominay who did it twice.
Didn't know he had this in him. Keep it up Fred.
I don't blame Fred for that. He was in a strength duel with Alli and it's something he's going to lose. We know this, he's not that type of player.
Young on the other hand literally did nothing. Stepped forward, pretended to kick the ball and sold himself without actually making a challenge for the ball. It's bizarre. I've watched it multiple times and I have no idea what he is trying to do. Doesn't go for the ball but commits himself at the same time? It's on him.
There is no hate towards him - but let's be honest - up untill a month or so ago - he looked awful. Now - he is actually starting to look like quality.
Was a different class today. Been putting in decent/ok performances lately but that was another level.
Shakhtar's Fred finally says hi to Old Trafford.
I love how he stucks in, he's in every challenge, goes in for every ball.
Playing like Fred's brother these days. That performance for me was better than his PSG game.
Very close to putting him as man of the match, he played today like a silkier version of Herrera. Passing was really tidy, so many interceptions and dribbled his way out of trouble.

I don't think he's gonna be here longterm but tonight he was the best midfielder on the pitch easily IMO.
Who knew???? Who the fcuk knew 
Is this the game that changes everything for our much maligned Fred?!
Fantastic tonight.

Excellent game! MOTM for me. Keep it going!
Yeah its good he tries those balls behind a defense, sometimes it doesnt pays of but when it does it creates a big oportunity.
He was naive, and probably didn't think Alli had it in him to suddenly turn into Zlatan.
This Fred with McSauce and Pogba fully fit. Oh yes, please.
With Andreas in there Fred has too much to do, with a capable partner you are seeing the real Fred
Played like a man possessed tonight! I still don't think he can be the answer to our problems long-term but fair play to the lad. Absolutely fantastic.

He's been pretty decent since he's had a consistent run of games this season so far to be fair.
Looking forward to having Pogba in front of McFred.
Hope this performance was a sign of things to come and not just a finger at Jose.
Cracking game.
Cracking game.
Fantastic performance. If he keeps this level, we can have a decent midfield trio to field in McT-Fred-Pogba.
Exactly, it’s worth the risk of losing possession. Most of the time at least.
He's been very good for 2 months. It's just daft fans that failed to realize Periera makes everyone look bad.
Pereira's a makeshift CM to be fair, even Mourinho only played him wide right. Can never be trusted to defend deep in midfield.
Easily his best game for the club, kept the tempo of both passing and press high, was sharper with his back to goal under pressure and did a solid job protecting his back 4. The Ali goal is the combination of a few mistakes from different players and a great piece of skill.
Fantastic today.
I was talking about not just this forum but also YouTube and Twitter. Saw a lot of the fans made their minds up about him as he was our worst midfielder. The popular opinion on him was he's just a shit player who's bought for a huge sum and worse than McTominay etc. He's not.
And to be honest, I never saw an awful performance from him even last year. It was just he was trying to adapt to the league when the environment was toxic and his playing style needed to adjust a bit. Because he's not a side ways passing midfielder; he's willing to take the initiative and I really liked that last year. These line breaking forward passes we see now it's refreshing to see and you know it's high risk high reward type. A bit like Nani in that respect. Then again I never understood the overreaction against Nani either. These are the type of players that in the right set up they are unplayable at times.
ahead of Rashford! Are you related to him?
He's having a good season, just keeps getting better. Even when he had to go next to Pereira he could still hold his head up high, now McTominay's back he looks even better. I'm very excited to see what our midfield looks like when Pogba returns.
