The English newspaper "Daily Star" announces that "Manchester United" has taken the lead in the race for Donetsk "Shakhtar" defender Fred's signature.
Brazil has been consistently linked with "Manchester City" and rumors even suggested that the transfer could happen this winter.
However, this did not happen, so the opportunity to attract the 25-year-old footballer was seized by the "Red Devils", who were followed by "Paris Saint-Germain".
It is reported that Fred is no longer the main priority for the "cityzens", so the path to acquire a defender became open.
This season, the Brazilian played 28 matches for the Ukrainian club, scoring three goals and providing four assists.
