Manchester United fans believe midfielder Fred has struggled at Old Trafford because Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has played the Brazilian out of position. The 28-year-old has been heavily criticized for his performances for the Red Devils this season.
Fred was deployed in a more advanced position in midfield by Brazil manager Tite against Uruguay on Thursday night. The Manchester United midfielder played alongside Liverpool star Fabinho, who was deployed as a deep-lying midfielder.
‘This is what players do when they play in their best positions. Fred is a terrible CDM but a decent CM,” said a Manchester United fan on Twitter.
Manchester United’s decision not to sign a top-quality defensive midfielder in the summer baffled fans. Fred, Scott McTominay, and Nemanja Matic have put in a number of sub-par performances this season. Solskjaer could therefore prioritize the signing of a defensive midfielder in January.
