He was oozing with confidence today! Would be MOTM if not for Ronaldo's masterclass.

What a game from this man. 
Immense today. When he is on like that (a rarity but still), he's a joy to watch.
Fredday, Fredday, Fredday?
Very honest player. Doesn't hide and gives everything.
Peoples opinion of him are mostly based on the old Fred. The Fred since Rangnick has arrived has been a good CM, with today being a very very good performance.
Brilliant today. Didn't put a foot wrong, and I love his great attitude.
Top quality today. Looks a completely different player when he’s pushed a bit further forward.
I've been a big critic of him but today he was pure class. Brilliant performance
Top class tonight.
One of the few players I'd keep from this squad. Always puts a shift in, never complains. He has been consistently played out of position due to our limited squad. I really want to see him paired with a class DM, so he can have a bit more freedom going forward.
Kante and Iniesta in one today.
Better than Kante today. What a beast

Put some respect in his name. Partner him with mobile DM and he will be a beast. Seems like he is picking his moments to press as well and not be headless chicken like before. Rangnick effect?
Strangely enough, for the first 10 minutes I thought he didn't look as lively and energetic as he normally does. Then he stepped up a couple of gears and dominated.
It's certainly not 100%, but his ratio of good games is unsurprisingly much higher when he's played in his actual correct position. He's spent almost his entire time at the club being played out of position as more of a deep-lying midfielder, and people then hold that against him. It's always been quite obvious that he should be getting played in the position that he's mostly played since Rangnick took over, with an actual proper deep-lying midfielder next to him.

Fantastic today. Seemed to walk away with the ball anytime it was near him.
What a game from Fred! Not sure how he can be so erratic on some days.
Who would’ve thought playing him in his correct position would get the best out of him.
His dribbling skills today were on different level.
Attacked the space like it's 2008.

When he’s having a good game, he’s really good. When not at his best, he gets lots of stick from fans. He is a decent player, i can not see him as a long term starter in a united team that hopes to compete for titles; however, he is a good player to have - good squad player that is. Played really well today. His pass for the first goal reminded me he is Brazilian
Wish he would play like that more often. 2nd only to Ronaldo.
one of his best matches at United. Hope it continues like this.
Not his alone, but between him and Matic (who like Fred played a nice pass)
Sancho was far better
Hahaha what a game.
I can't argue with people that don't rate him, but I absolutely love him. He's a uniquely talented player but has been a poor fit for us mostly.

he was outstanding today. The biggest compliment i can pay him is he highlighted just how bad Pogba was.
Our best player after Ronaldo. It's a pity we didn't score some of his counter attacks. He did get a nice assist though.
Fred outstanding and some will still complain.
Its pathetic how some of you behave with certain players.
He's a #8. I love how he doesn't waste time on the ball, just quick direct passes.
That nutmeg which almost led to the goal was just 
Yeah. One of the best players on the pitch today. Keep it up Freddo
High tempo games like that he's as good as anyone. If it wasn't for the hattrick he would be man of the match, and he was largely responsible for it.
This reminds me Fonseca's plea to Jose to start using him in more advanced role.
My favourite player at the club by some distance. Always gives everything and he’s a much better footballer than he’s given credit for. All heart and guts and has the moves to back it up. Glad to see people thaw out towards him.
His best performance for United, in my opinion.
Even with his good games he is still liable to produce 2 or 3 brain farts but he was more or less flawless today.

I love these type of hardworking and composed performances. If he was about three inches taller so his little legs could get those balls/tackles he juuust misses, he could be world class.
He really was fantastic today.
I've criticised him often, but he was fantastic today and his energy and tenacity was absolutely crucial towards the win.
Yeah he's largely been very good. He's usually (always?) been the most advanced CM under Ralf which suits him better. Especially when paired with a genuine holding mid like Matic, even though Matic can't run.
Hopefully we'll never again see the days of Fred as a DM. And after this summer, hopefully we'll never see McTominay as a DM either. They're both box to box midfielders and nothing else.
I love him as a player. Probably the most underrated player I've ever known.
