Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag talks to Fred
Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag was ‘furious’ with Fred during the 2-2 draw against Leeds United on Wednesday night, according to reporter Simon Stone.
The Lowdown: Winning run comes to an end
The Red Devils won 13 fixtures in succession at Old Trafford heading into the clash against the Whites but had to dig deep just to earn a point. The visitors found themselves two goals up in the second half before Marcus Rashford and Jadon Sancho struck to earn the home side a draw.
The two sides meet once again on Sunday afternoon, and it looks as if one United player may be doubting his place in the team following Ten Hag’s antics.
The Latest: Ten Hag furious with Fred
BBC reporter Stone was at Old Trafford for the game and provided live updates on Twitter.
He said during the second half that Ten Hag was ‘furious’ with Fred at one point and threw his chewing gum to the ground in anger.
The Verdict: Night to forget for Fred…
Fred had a night to forget against Leeds and was outperformed by midfield partners Marcel Sabitzer and Bruno Fernandes, as per SofaScore.
The Brazilian lost possession a whopping 27 times, committed three fouls and was dribbled past on two occasions. He ended up with a match rating of 6.9/10, but with Casemiro still suspended and Christian Eriksen and Scott McTominay out through injury, Fred could retain his place in the team on Sunday purely down to a lack of senior available options.
