He’s probably the world’s best shit player I’ve ever seen. It’s actually a remarkable status to have.

I will miss the legend of Good Fred Bad Fred
Always had a great attitude and a smile on his face so I enjoyed having him as part of the squad, hope he thrives in Turkey.
Best of luck to him. There was never any doubt about his commitment and he always gave it all. Likeable player.
Hope that 10m euro plus 5m add ons is wrong. Shocking if true, should be getting more than that.
Fred was an enigma, one game at the etihad motm performance. Then 3 awful ones where he couldn't make 5 yard pass to a team mate, like he genuinely forgot how to play football.

Very likeable player and very underrated on occasions. Could never question his attitude and commitment, unlike others during his time here. Had several huge performances in big games. Energizer Bunny.
That and his wayward shooting.
For whatever reason, the ball always fell to him in good positions outside the box only for him to totally shank it or hit it into row z.
He won't be missed by me. Good riddance
Good luck, Fred. Very likable guy who will be missed.
You have a point. Second-Half Fred alone is worth 25m. But it's better to turn the page on him and look for someone better. He's 30 years old now. I'd prefer to upgrade him or even gove his minutes to the youngsters.
Came on in the fa Cup semi final and made a massive difference. Then a week later he put in one of the worst performances against spurs. He was an enigma
He was never good enough, at least not consistently. Likeable guy though, wish him well.
Reality is, he's in the last year of his contract, on over £100k a week and is a fringe player that clubs know we don't want. I'd like to have got £20million for him but if we still get Amrabat as a result of moving him on I'll take it.
15mil euros is basically £13mil so only £2mil less than what we were happy for Fulham to pay, given that Turkey isn't flush with cash I'd say just take the win with the wages off the books.
On to Amrabat.
On to Amrabat.
He got United and not every player does when they come here.
Good luck Fred!
Good luck Fred!
Always loved the guy, the issue for me was never his ability, was more his inconsistency.
It will be interesting as there is another 'Fred' waiting as every forum needs an scapegoat....

Agree....and if there was a fight on the pitch, the little man was there first.
Pastor Fred.
Always liked Fred — he looked like one of the only players who gave a shit when things went south under Ole/Rangnick. But he was just way too inconsistent to play for a top team.
A little random but I just thought about his assist to Bruno against Fulham in the last game of the season.
Weirdly my favourite pass of the season. Something about that type of pass is so easy on the eye.

What on earth did you expect to get
Adios Admigo, some bright and very good performances, some that just made you fall off your chair in Laughter, but a great servant to the club compare to others who have worn the shirt and you sir wore it with Pride! Thank you Fred, all the best for the future. I carry the piano for the artists to play.
The best epigram on Fred was when someone here wrote: Fred is excellent at breaking up play - for both teams.
Good luck to him.
Sort of sad to see him to, wish him all the best. But it's the best move for both parties, truth be told he was never good enough to start for United.
I Still think he’ll go to Fulham
Yeah goodbye Fred and good luck
They better be quick then
He had some great games against City over the years, good luck to him.
A poster once said 'God flips a coin whenever Fred touches the ball'. That is the most accurate description of Fred imo.
Terrible buy. Bought for 50m, sold for 15m. His performances ranged from 2/10 to 8/10.
Super likeable guy who had some great games for us. Wish him all the best.
Good luck to him, the performance spectrum was wild but he gave it his all.
Good luck Mr Pastor.
There was a post in his thread last season that lives rent free in my head. The guy called him a train conductor. The amount of times he puts his hand up to apologise for a poor pass is comical. Every time he did that, it would always remind me of that post. 
Has United ever had a more inconsistent player? Barthez v Forlan v Fred v Veron
I like Fred, sad to see him go.
Forlan was very consistent. He'd hit that same spot, about a foot high and wide of the top corner, 3 times a game.
Anderson should be in the mix.
The end of the Mcfred midfield, fecking glorious.
Good luck to him. As others have said clearly always gave it everything. That alone isn’t enough now though for where we want to get to and at 30, with a year left on this contract, it’s the right time to move him on.
