49erssports.com - Premier League giants Manchester United are reportedly ready to release Fred in the upcoming 2023 summer transfer market, free of charge.

The Brazilian player is expected to make United's game more fluid. However, United fans are often dissatisfied with his performance.
They also often criticized him. But Fred is still often trusted to fill United's midfield.
Eliminated in the Era of the Ten Hag
In the 2022/2023 season, Fred didn't get many chances to play as a starter. Erik Ten Hag often backed him up.
This season he has played 16 times in all competitions. He only started seven times but did not always play 90 minutes.
Fred looked difficult to compete with other quarterbacks. Starting from Scott McTominay, Christian Eriksen, Bruno Fernandes, to Casemiro.
