"Manchester United" planned to strengthen their midfield this summer, but they were unable to acquire any players for this position. Furthermore, experienced Ander Herrera left the team.
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer spoke during the pre-season preparations that the vacant position left by the Spanish player could be filled by the young Andreas Pereira and Scott McTominay.
It is obvious that better performance is expected from Brazilian Fred, who arrived at the team last summer for almost 60 million euros.
The 26-year-old Brazilian, in an interview with the magazine "Inside United," admitted that his first season was very challenging, but he hopes to integrate better into the team's game.
"My first season was quite tough. First years are always like that because you need to adjust to a new league and country. Moreover, our season in the Premier League was not successful.
However, I am now more adapted to the league and have been working hard. I have talked to the coach and his staff members, and I know that this season will be better for us," Fred said.
Midfielder Fred played 25 matches and scored one goal for "Man Utd" last season.
