Fred approves transfer as Manchester United consider sale
Man United could look to sell Fred in the summer transfer window to sign a new midfielder.
Fred admits he needs to discuss his future with Erik ten Hag as Manchester United consider selling him in the summer transfer window.
The Manchester Evening News revealed earlier this week that Fred had become a target for Fulham given his uncertain future at Old Trafford.
Fulham manager Marco Silva was filmed talking to Fred after their last Premier League clash and intermediaries have already suggested a possible move for the 30-year-old this summer.
Fred was the only outfield player to feature in United’s every-day squad this season but he could leave as United are looking for a younger midfielder. The Brazil international started in the FA Cup final defeat to Man City, but his poor performance could be his last competitive appearance in a United shirt.
“Obviously I always want to play, help my team, and today I’m glad I started, and I think we played well,” he told TNT Sports.
When asked about the future of his move, he added: “I still don’t know, I need to talk to my family. I still have one year left on my contract here. Now it’s the holidays and a good chance to rest, I’ll talk to my staff , at the club and see what everyone’s decision is.”
“I also have to talk to Ten Hag, he’s the manager and the conversation needs to be about everyone. We’ll have to wait and see how next season goes. I want to be important; I want to help the team, so we’ll see. But I was and still am very happy at Manchester United.
