I have never understood how a football player earning millions struggles to get a work permit in this country.
Fred | Manchester United Player | For Reals
- Thread starter Rado_N
- Start date
It’s because the office is in Liverpool
Think it depends if you have previous for drug related convictions
They say the work permit is sorted now, it is just contract agreement with the player. Sorted this week they say. Castles Report.

They don't, really.
He doesn't reach the initial criteria of the percentage of games played for Brazil, I don't think. But the money being spent on Fred almost automatically qualifies him on appeal:
He would hit all of the financial ones, and the CL criteria, so it really wouldn't be an issue.
Will he play for Brazil tonight?
Think I read something yesterday suggesting he was out.
I remember around 1994 that we agreed to sign a Brazilian CB called Silva, I even have a programme with a picture of him on the front, but he didn’t meet the criteria, and ultimately we didn’t sign him. I assume we would have a much better understanding of the system these days. It used to be that you had to play 75% of international matches over the past 2 years to automatically qualify.
Applying for a work permit before contractual agreement with the player?
Sounds odd to me.
Any updates on his injury and the official announcement that he has signed for United?
I'm sure they would be on here if there was.
Cheers

United spreading out official announcements, not a good sign for those expecting 5 signings.
His is a special case. Don't think it's related to other transfers.
They’re going to confirm it when it’s finalised. We’re not Liverpool.

Looking forward to see Fred play.

Hang on. I thought he was already signed.
What the hell happened since he signed for us? Did he un-sign and now needs to be re-signed?
We didn't announce it officially due to work permit. We only announced that we reached agreement.
Happy Fred Day
Why does this thread STILL say Manchester United player though 
Because he is a United player.Why does this thread STILL say Manchester United player though
Are you Fred's agent or are you just guessing, based on what the media is telling you?
He hasn't officially signed a contract. He hasn't officially agreed terms, he hasn't officially had his work permit through, he hasn't officially even applied for his work permit. We are officially at the 'fee agreed' stage.
I thought the rules on this forum were that a player would have to officially be announced by the club before opening a "Manchester United Player" thread.
Does it really matter?
Fred | 50% Manchester United player.
Work permit is the reason for the hold up most probably.
On a forum as reputable as RedCafe, posting factually incorrect threads does matter, yes. This thread should still be in the transfer forum.
Agree Fee > Agree personal terms > Obtain work permit > physically sign > instagram release a video of him & Fred the Red tap dancing on Elton John's piano.
So far we've.... Agreed the fee.
No, it doesn't. Move on.
Hopefully Manutd and fred won't sue redcafe and @Rado_N
I like how you think you know all of that.
Yep. And now that's done.

Would have preferred Fred and Fred the Red recreating this legendary tune as the intro video.
Another piano.
