Yeah he's not and yet he's got the best defensive numbers in our team and in the league past few seasons. Such a nonsense thrown around that he's not good enough, he's got some insane numbers matching Kante easily, but perhaps for you it's about the lad has to be tall and strong and sitting to be a DM. Fred covers the most ground, is the first player to cover for any of the defenders and first player to win the ball in dangerous situation in both sides of the pitch. He again won a couple of goals and set up great counters but obviously people just remember highlights. The Rashford header and Greenwood chance he would have a preassist if the strikers didn't fail to finish.
If you can't see that I am afraid you should try another sport, perhaps biathlon is easy to understand.
Fred is our most important player same way Fernandes is attacking wise, just need to upgrade McTominay who is bang average, but all of these players make mistakes, it's just that people like to call out Fred because they simply don't understand game of football, that it is not about 11 Ronaldo's. Even Fernandes is way out of his depth lately but he's not called out for a simple fecked up pass after pass he makes like Fred. Perhaps it's because he's black Brazilian player who came for 50 million pounds and people just like to give him stick, Same goes with Pogba or Maguire who cost "fortunes" but who cares about that. let's focus on the contributions of certain players rather than their background. I am convinced about the bias because you can see that people just have their comments ready before the game starts, knives are out with a little hesitation of certain players and overlook massive weaknesses in their favourite players. This desperation for a Scotish underdog lad like McTominay from our academy to succeed is hilarious. And believe me or not, I love the academy and our products, but you can immediately see if they are good enough or not if you are not totally dumb or stubborn.
For me I loved Gary Neville, Darren Fletcher, as much as Vidic or Pat Evra or Dwight Yorke because they gave their all regardless their race or pricetag. They are classic Manutd players with grit and talent. And Fred could be one of them if he continues to do so but people should fecking understand he's no Ronaldinho and he's there to provide base for other players. Lazy assumption he's from Brazil he has to play with Neymar skills or what. Yet his passing is the most crisp in our midfield and with highest pass completion and tempo which is often lacking when he doesn't play. We can see how zombie football we play without Fred and how is our winning/losing ratio with him, including big games where he's brilliant.
He was running for our best player of the season before Fernandes took it form him and last season as well he was brilliant but some people are jsut desperate to bash him for whatever reason because he's not Carrick or their favourite/desired player of past.

He was awful yesterday and in a matter of months, would be slated on here if we were to sign him. We do need to improve our midfield but let's steer well clear of Declan Rice.
