Manchester United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer says Fred deserves special recognition for his role in helping Brazil reach the final of Copa America.
The United midfielder has played a key role in helping the Selecao set up a massive clash with fierce rivals Argentina in the early hours of Sunday morning.
“I have to put particular praise to Fred,” Solskjaer told manutd/.com. “I’ve got to say, at the end of the season, he got an injury in the last league game. We thought he wouldn’t make it for the [Europa League] final as he didn’t train the whole week before our own final, and he’s just put his head down and worked really hard.
“He trained the day before the final and came on and played.
“He’s just played throughout the summer and that’s some going. Some players with that injury wouldn’t be in training football now. He’s been a credit to Manchester United and himself in the way he’s conducted himself.”
