The reason is that Fred and vDB don't play in the same position, no matter how much Fred can screw up. The only competition for Fred is Matic, who can't play every game at this intensity due to his age.What does does Fred have to do for Donny to get a game? I mean i know Donny hasn't been excellent by any stretch of the imagination, but Fred has been single handedly costing us points this season, yet he is always involved and often starting.
vdB's only two positions are CM (which McTominay or Pogba plays) or AM (which Bruno, Lingard or Pogba plays). The only way to put him in the team is to play Matic or McTominay at holding mid, while he plays as a Box-to-Box midfielder, but he does not push as often as McTominay does, and he does not play passes as well as Pogba as a Roaming Playmaker.
EDIT: If I say we want to try something out, I'd rather try Phil Jones during the international break and put him back in his old position of DM. Let's see how he fares during training.
