The United man successfully sent three long balls home to his teammates in a brilliant display of his technical skill. Fred also won three of the five running matchups he delved into.
Fred could have scored a first-half goal and doubled United’s lead going into half-time, but he was unlucky when his free-kick hit the woodwork. However, he recorded an assist.
Fred also made three interceptions and earned two tackles. Based on tonight’s evidence, Fred continues the exceptional form he’s been in since he finished the World Cup.
