Exactly as I expected, there just being patient with Fred and letting him bed into the team.I'll post it again....
Ole......."We know there’s a very, very good player there with Fred so hopefully he’ll adjust to the English game because there’s no doubt there's talent, absolutely no doubt.
"It’s always difficult to come here. One: It’s Man United, you’re expected to perform straight away. Two: It’s an English league that he’s not used to. But he’s a Brazilian international, Andreas is a Brazilian international, the talent is there and when they get the chance the next time... it’s easier to come into a team that’s doing well.
"I didn’t do Andreas or Scott or Fred any favours when I put them in against Reading when we've had nine changes. Next time they come in there might be one or two changes, and it’s easier, and then we’ll see what they’re capable of.
"There’s loads of players that have come in and found the first few months difficult. One of the best players I’ve played with that struggled the most was Diego Forlan. Veron [is another] you know, those two fantastic players and it took a bit of time. But when they settled they performed....."
Enough said and I'm not sure after 18 games with most coming off the bench during the Jose era we can make any assessment of him. He'll get his chance but currently it's hard because everyone inc those that arrived before him deserves it too. Most on here been wanting Andreas to get a chance and others Scott too. I actually rate Fred highly but I think at times he's trying to hard to impress.
He's just had a baby and missed our winter training camp, so he's bound to be a bit behind the rest of the squad. I have faith he will come good, he's clearly got talent and IMO he hasn't been that bad in the matches, just clearly over trying and a second off the pace which makes a big difference at the top level. He reminds me of Lindelof in that sense. He's full of nervous energy but eventually he will calm down and show his real ability.
