His twitter followers are still low at around 20k. I'm waiting to see where they get to over the course of the week.

Most United fans aren't muppets like us. They only go by official announcements.
I miss the days when we had a set piece threat. Getting freekicks with Beckham in the side was as good as a goal or an assist.I agree. Good set pieces are vital to every top team. Putting pressure on corner kicks, set pieces and getting goals from free kicks can make your season.
There was a time on the caf when even if a deal like this didn’t happen, you would have posters asking ‘how do you know we were alever in for him?’.
Damn, 3 man midfields consisting of Kanté, Keita, and Fred are gonna be so annoying in the next Fifa if pacey midfielders are overpowered once again.

I'd like us to buy a Brazilian with a proper Brazilian / Portuguese name. Fred, Anderson, Douglas, Alan, Ralph, Bill, Victor et al. What's all that about then?
Agreed! There were rumours of a Frank though, which would fit right in. Otherwise, Fred should just ad inho - Fredinho - everyone would want his shirt!
Brazilian names are in decline. There's even a Nathan, Malcom and Kenedy ffs.
It's a flipping joke. Kleberson was bad enough.
His actual name is Frederico I think. That exotic enough?
I've officially given up hope then. No Pele, Zico, Eder, Garincha, Romero and the likes for us then. No wonder they're shite these days.Brazilian names are in decline. There's even a Nathan, Malcom and Kenedy ffs.
Helluva picture
Why did he only play 19 games?
I heard it on sky sports, Fred got 13 yellows and 1 red card in 19 games, I don’t know how good he is but that’s a slightly worrying stat tbh.
Yeah but he is referred to as Fred. The last properly Brazilian sounding name we had was Rio Ferdinand and he wasn't bad was he? And who can forget Ronaldo? See, it's all in the name. Fred indeed.
Haven't watched him but hope he is explosive and fast and will make us more dynamic. He will bring different qualities to our midfield.
I signed one on FM called potato onceBrazilian names are in decline. There's even a Nathan, Malcom and Kenedy ffs.
How many resulted in a red card though. A 1 game ban isnt that bad if it doesnt hamper us in a big game
well Depay came here to take them, having scored like 8 in his previous season and couldn't hit the sea from the beach. I wouldn't be that excited. Pogba looks a good taker too but we seriously need someone who can hit it the way it surpass the player on the front post. And then you have players like Van Persie/Erriksen/JWP who can hit it with real power and cause big danger can we get a player like that? Maybe we should just play it short or give it to giggseh

It’s not. Just four letters.
Can we not just call him Fredinho?
Transfermarkt shows Fred with 14 yellow cards in 37 matches in the 17/18 season. One yellow card suspension and one indirect card suspension. Sounds like a lot of professional fouls to break up play.
5ft 6 from the Ukraine league. Wow
Glad he’s off to the World Cup so we can get a little idea what we’re in for. Might even be a starter with Casemiro and Fernandinho. Paulinho can suck a fat one
Will probably be shite and this place will be in turmoil. Can’t wait

Can almost guarantee that his first world cup game will be the worst game of his life.
I'm not enthusiastic about this guy.. let's hope he turns out well and leaves his doping habits behind.
Doubt he will start. If anything in that midfield will change it will be Coutinho moving deeper for one of the 3 allowing Willian, Neymar and Jesus to play ahead of them.

ultimate respect to Luckhurst on this one - went earlier on it than most.
Won't get the credit he deserves mind.

Who are our targets according to him?
Can you please expand what you mean by that.
That would be a good article if he didn't use the word 'staccato'.
I thought we already had signed Fred?
