It was seemingly Fred’s most noticeably awful performance in a Manchester United shirt against Leicester City.
The Brazilian committed a horrible error for United in their FA Cup quarter-final loss against Leicester City however Ole Gunnar Solskjaer guarded his midfielder by running for his defense.
Fred got the ball from Harry Maguire before Leicester’s first of the three goals of the evening, however, his frail pass back to Dean Henderson permitted Kelechi Iheanacho to open the scoring as Leicester won 3-1 on the day.
Manchester United frequently attempted to play from the back during the early part of the game, albeit the group infrequently looks open to doing as such and it’s no big surprise groups press us high up the pitch as Leicester did on occasion on Sunday. Solksjaer would have certainly wanted his players to change their plans if they commit an error in an initial plan.
Solksjaer defended the player and the tactics by saying: “We want them to build from the back. We’ve been really solid, we’ve been really good, we’ve built a foundation to play from with what we’ve done. Sometimes it goes wrong and that’s acceptable. Everyone can make a mistake and we win together and lose together, as a team.”
It’s a colossal hit to be taken out of the FA Cup this season and our consideration presently goes to winning the Europa League and completing second in the Premier League.
Sickening play by the midfielder :
I was horrified to read towards the beginning of today that Fred was given some horrible maltreatment via online media after the match.
As per the Daily Telegraph, the Brazilian was sent abominable maltreatment on his Instagram page including monkey emoticons. Fred is the most recent in a considerable rundown of players to get dreadful maltreatment on the web.
