Manchester United midfielder Fred recently accepted a report from Universal Sports, saying that he struggled with joining Manchester United at a high price, but even so he never gave up.
United signed Fred from Miner Donetsk for £52.5 million in 2018, when the Reds acquired the Brazilian midfielder through fierce competition with city rivals Manchester City. Expectations were high for Fred, but he played mediocrely in his debut season, making only 25 appearances in the end, and in the following seasons, he was once reduced to a marginal man, labeled a "parallel cargo".
However, since Solskjaer joined the team, Fred has been reused, and the manager has also successfully remodeled and used him, and he is now a main player in the Manchester United midfield.
Fred said: "The first season was very tough and I think a lot of players have been through it. I suffered a lot in my first season, and even the transfer fees that the club paid for me were tortured. People have high expectations of you, and the result is that if you can't play well in every game, you're going to be criticized. ”
"I've been criticized a lot from the media and fans, but I always keep encouraging myself, keep working hard and I never give up. I was even seen as a 'parallelist', a bad signing, a scrapped contract, but I continued to do my best. ”
"I didn't start the second season and then I got some starters. Then I had a good series of plays and I started winning recognition from the fans, coaches and the media, which was the result of hard work, not overnight. ”
"If people criticize you, then you have to keep working. Sometimes it's good to hear criticism because you'll be more focused. I've heard people who support me say I need to improve and I'm happy now and want to stay here for many years. ”
Asked which area of his two-and-a-half years at Manchester United had improved the most, Fred said: "I think it's defensive, I don't score goals, when I was in Ukraine I played for the biggest team in the country, we often have a lot of possession in the game and we don't need to keep an eye on the opponent. ”
"Coming to the Premier League is very different, you need to show a fighting spirit and be faster when dealing with the ball. I've improved a lot in that regard, and my brain is spinning faster. There are some aspects I couldn't have done better in the first season, but I've been improving. ”
"Today I've adapted, I think the main thing is the defensive part, the offensive part, my passing has improved a lot, moving the ball faster in the middle of the crowded road, and standing. These issues are improved with each training session, and the trend is only going to grow. ”
