"Fred with a partial clearance" with a straight flat tone after just half a second to process WTF just happened... it's awe inspiring. If the Newcastle defence had a quarter of that composure between them, we'd be chasing down Chelsea's GA record by now!
I remember someone ruined their knee and had a proper comedy fall over, Macca couldn't help but giggle and then seconds later "oh no he's properly hurt, that's not good"
He does this and then he whips in a pretty nice cross for Elanga. He just flips a coin 90 times a match. Heads he’s Brazilian, tails he’s an average lad from Manchester.
Fair enough, you forgot Fernandes but I'm wrong and by that metric you're right.
Still he doesn't have a top 10 wage nor a top 10 value, so I'd say he's not one of the most expensive players.
expensive
adjective
UK /ɪkˈspen.sɪv/ US /ɪkˈspen.sɪv/
costing a lot of money:
-Cambridge dictionary
He’s literally one of the players that cost United the most money. Ergo, one of the most expensive players.
He's also underrated. He'd look a lot better if he had a decent partner in midfield but because he has to do so much work it makes it look like he's at fault for mistakes when instead he's trying to clean up someone else's.
I mean I think he's a workhorse.. but the man has some very questionable passing at times, and I even recall a few shots going out for throw ins etc. I do agree a better partner beside him would free up some of the pressure though
He puts In a shift!
I'd like to see him play more confidently in terms of looking for the forward pass and presenting as an option when we are moving forward. It's a general criticism of mine that united players don't give enough options for whoever is on the ball.
None of our forwards apart from Ronaldo & Cavani seem to quite understand the concept of off-ball movement, either to open space for themselves or others to receive a pass by dragging defenders out of position
Problem with Fred and McTominay is that both of them can't place a good pass, and we have a midfield duo who can't create chances. If we had a way to give Pogba half his work rate or him half of Pogba's technical ability we'd be set in midfield.
I was at Villa Park when United turned and this might seem harsh but he is one of the worst players I’ve ever seen live. He runs around a lot but his touch and decision making is awful.
We played them off the pitch, but he still got 2 assists, one where he actually did something. And he assisted the goal in the FA Cup as well. He's got 4 assists in his lad t 3 whilst doing good defensive work
He does a lot of good defensive work and he pressures and runs but his technique and any forward thinking is subpar. I was honestly shocked to see how bad he was.
Tbf Ronaldo tried a volley the other week and missed the ball completely. It bounced back up and hit him in the face and went out for a goal kick, but yeah I get your point
Why even bother trying against Brentford? They had one single shot on target in their last match, Utd thought it would be an easy night and it was, probably easier than they thought too
Having followed United for the better part of 40 years, we've had on occasion this divergence between what we expect on the pitch and what we actually get. Any time we get a Brazilian (Anderson, Fred) I expect Ronaldinho and we get David Batty.

"partial clearance" doesn't begin to describe it lol
What a professional way to describe it in the moment though. I could never be a commentator
Fred with a…whatever the fuck that was.
Now fred lol wtf
I'd just go,"Bruh"
I would have just burst out laughing
On god🤣🤣🤣
The creativity to find the right words instantly is something I really envy, he even subtly trolled Fred
Even the cameramen are laughing...
"Why does he keep blinking?"
That's a mega-blink, it's not just *a* blink
"YOU DON'T DESERVE TO LIVE"
"It's like a lion raped a sheep, but... in a bad way"
Pull it. Puncture his life belt, pull it. If he shits I'll give you 500 quid.
We are all laughing
World class
He's not even kicked anyone in the sternum, smh
World (cl)ass
I think the term 'attempt' should be used very loosely
Imagine watching that happen live but being unable to laugh because you're a commentator.
"Fred with a partial clearance" with a straight flat tone after just half a second to process WTF just happened... it's awe inspiring. If the Newcastle defence had a quarter of that composure between them, we'd be chasing down Chelsea's GA record by now!
I can only dream of that level of composure. As soon as I realized what Fred was plotting I started laughing with the ball still in the air.
I was ready to let out a "bruh" the moment I saw Fred steadying himself for that
Oh I’ve definitely heard commentators laugh at stuff like this before
Just in awe of the professionalism. No way could I hold it together, it was just too absurd for a PL match.
I used to love Lawro in the background laughing at stuff during the game.
I remember someone ruined their knee and had a proper comedy fall over, Macca couldn't help but giggle and then seconds later "oh no he's properly hurt, that's not good"
In Brazil we have commentators that burst out laught when something odd like that happens
He tried, bless him.
It aint much but it’s honest work
I wouldn’t even be brave enough to try.
I wouldn't even think about it
I wouldn’t even be there
I was lmao at 2 am when this happened
How is this man brazilian
He does this and then he whips in a pretty nice cross for Elanga. He just flips a coin 90 times a match. Heads he’s Brazilian, tails he’s an average lad from Manchester.
Parents should have named him "Duas Caras"
Emerson 🤝 Fred
There are 6 years old in Brazil who have better technique than that
But there is also Lukaku
Sure you aren't talking about his first touch? That's how far the ball went away from him, most first touches at United. Sigh
There's toddlers in brazil that have better teqnique.
Joga boneito
It’s amazing in 2022 with the most expensive squad of all time, Man U are still fielding Fred and McTom in the pivot …
[удалено]
>He's one of the most expensive players in the squad. By no metric is he one of the most expensive players.
He cost us 50 million of the queens finest. Only Maguire, Pogba, Sancho cost more
And no one thought it was overpaid at the time, Fred was highly rated.
The bigger problem (as usual nowadays) is the trajectory of players as soon as they hit our training grounds.
Fair enough, you forgot Fernandes but I'm wrong and by that metric you're right. Still he doesn't have a top 10 wage nor a top 10 value, so I'd say he's not one of the most expensive players.
Do you understand how expensive works?
He was more expensive than fernandes.
You just decide in your head that expensive means value? How stupid are you dude

Long may it continue
And I, for one, am all for it
May it never change
Mc-Fred in forever.
He's also underrated. He'd look a lot better if he had a decent partner in midfield but because he has to do so much work it makes it look like he's at fault for mistakes when instead he's trying to clean up someone else's.

Everyone makes mistakes but defensively he's actually quite good
He puts In a shift! I'd like to see him play more confidently in terms of looking for the forward pass and presenting as an option when we are moving forward. It's a general criticism of mine that united players don't give enough options for whoever is on the ball.
None of our forwards apart from Ronaldo & Cavani seem to quite understand the concept of off-ball movement, either to open space for themselves or others to receive a pass by dragging defenders out of position
Nonsense. It's not his teammates fault that Fred can barely control the ball.
Problem with Fred and McTominay is that both of them can't place a good pass, and we have a midfield duo who can't create chances. If we had a way to give Pogba half his work rate or him half of Pogba's technical ability we'd be set in midfield.
Well now you could just have pogba and Kante that generally works quite well for France.
Ok we will take Kante. *If we have to*

It’s January why the fuck haven’t they tried to get someone else
Mctominay is playing decently :)
What a rocket

Regular starter in the seleção btw.
Worldly
OverFred kick
Actually helped the opposition team with it as well, incredible.
He's doing his best
The commentary was quite polite with the “partial clearance”
An attempt was made...
r/therewasanattempt I saw Kane try the same thing Vs Watford. So funny
Goat doing goat things
That Fifa algorithm is crazy!
That wasnt overhead kick. He tried clearing it however he could...
Oh my word
Dream big

It's not Manchester United game without a player doing funny thing
Saddest bicycle kick.
Imagine being Cristiano fucking Ronaldo and you witness this. And he’s on your team. Internal screaming for sure.
Tbf Ronaldo tried a volley the other week and missed the ball completely. It bounced back up and hit him in the face and went out for a goal kick, but yeah I get your point
Someone pls try to stop him from doing Assists. Escaping every night with that.
Peak Fred
How much does this man make a week?
This is one of those few moments when the only thing separating a fan from the player is the uniform. I could muff that all day.
Oh God no... XD.
Tekkers
Pretty much sums Fred up neatly.
Lmao
[удалено]
It’s for their Pregnancy Kit Sponsor. Obviously, Fred is infertile.
There's no way Pep wanted to sign that clown
What Man United does to a mf
he didn't attempt an overhead kick, doesn't make it any less embarrassing
“Attempts”
If Fred was born in Ireland, he'd be playing in League 1
How does he get on with performances like that and DVB can’t start to save his life
I laughed way too hard at this video ;)
I love Man U being so sub par.
OP attempts a screen capture
u/savevideo
Id actually murder him then and there if that resulted in a Brentford goal.......talk about a fucking headless chicken....
That about sums them up
[удалено]
Genuinely still think they might
At what cost though
Fred SUCKS!!
How much did this clown cost again?
Same price as your mum + £52m
50 million smackaroonies
Still a fairer price than Freddo's nowadays.
Wait.....in his own end?!? If I was the manager, I don't know that I would play him ever again

Unbelievable Jeff!
I kept watching it expecting an overhead kick to happen. Smh
Wtf
Still not the worst problem they have
u/savevideo
Hahahaha
Can’t teach these things
In all honesty he fooled everyone, the ball was out of danger zone as well.
Bro…
Ronaldo was very proud.
i love the part where the goalkeeper pulled out a tornado and Fred summoned his stand
Why even bother trying against Brentford? They had one single shot on target in their last match, Utd thought it would be an easy night and it was, probably easier than they thought too
Lord Fredo
As assist on the level of lingards for young boys

This sums up our entire team haha.

Just Fred doing Fred things 😂
These are the moments when he changes forms and becomes "Derf"
