They’ve stuck with him through those tough times.

Bottle like that at Man Utd and it’s the end for you.

Lol what teams were in Portugal’s group?

Meanwhile, Messi won one cup with Argentina after being in the team since 2005. Argentina can be said to have regressed under him because they won 1 cup after many years. On the average, one Copa America cup for Argentina after such a long spell is a poor return.

Our no.17 has worked his way into the line-up under Tite and performed well again in the goalless draw with fierce rivals Argentina last time out.

South American football expert Tim Vickery believes the 28-year-old has had to fight to make his mark and impress for the Selecao.

"He's certainly not a glamorous player, and when United took that defeat against Liverpool the other week, there were questions in Brazil about picking a midfielder who had been in a side that had just suffered that kind of defeat," Vickery told us. "So he’s not a glamorous player.

"He made his name with Internacional in the south of Brazil, so not in Rio or Sao Paolo, the big media centres, and that means that he doesn’t have a big media constituency. He’s a little worker ant who has to fight for everything that he gets.

"Brazil had a quick look at him before the 2018 World Cup and brought him back not long ago, but when they first brought him in, the thing they really stressed was his physical stats: the amount of ground he covers and the high speed at which he does it.

"They focused on that fabulous engine that he’s got. Brazil are currently going with wingers. Against Argentina, they played with two wingers: Raphinha and Vinicius Junior, and an out-and-out centre forward with essentially a second striker for much of the game, so it was almost an old school 4-2-4 that they used. Obviously, the wingers have to get back and work up and down, but there’s a real danger in that team that the two in midfield are going to get overloaded, and especially against Argentina, who have three plus [Lionel] Messi in that sector and pass the ball through midfield so well, so there’s a danger of playing that formation and getting overrun in midfield.

"Also bear in mind that Fred was playing alongside Fabinho because Casemiro was suspended. Neither of those two are the most mobile, and so what Fred brings to that side is that mobility. He’s got to get around the field, he’s got to plug the gaps, he’s got to be the unsung hero. He’s been doing that while also making a contribution with the ball. He’s played very, very well. When they beat Uruguay 4-1 last month, he set up the first goal with a lovely little pass over the line. He hit the bar the other night, with his right foot. He’s keeping the ball ticking over, he’s not trying to do anything that he can’t do, so at the moment he’s very, very useful for that central midfield, especially so with his physical capacity."

Fred now has 23 caps for his country, one of the favourites to lift the World Cup in Qatar next year. Since making the bench for the qualifier with Venezuela in October, he has started the last four fixtures in the South American pool and Brazil have only conceded one goal in that time, a consolation for Uruguay in a 4-1 triumph.

When asked how much the United man will be involved at the tournament, Vickery replied: "It depends a little bit on what the system is. If Brazil go with a third man in midfield, a triangle, as was the team in the build-up to the last World Cup, then maybe they don’t need him as much.

"They can have a player with a more attacking balance in that case. But while they have the wingers opening up the pitch like this, they really need someone who can cover ground. I think another thing they’ve found is that they’ve tried a couple of other players in there who are bigger names in Brazilian football, but they don’t play the ball as quickly as Fred.

"One of the things he’s been doing is just playing quickly. Not glamorous passes, just knocking it off first time, keeping the tempo up. Some of the others, like Bruno Guimaraes at Lyon, Gerson at Marseille, seem to need to take time to get it onto their stronger foot and then move the ball, but Fred is moving the ball quickly. It’s totally unglamorous, never noticed, but it keeps things ticking over. At the moment, the spot in Brazil’s starting line-up is his to lose."

Fred, like his colleagues, can concentrate on United matters now, starting with Saturday afternoon's trip to Watford in the Premier League.

As per SofaScore, Fred was the highest rated player on the pitch, despite Lionel Messi starting, with a rating of 7.8 out of 10.

He played the full game and won 16 duels, as well as eight tackles in a typically industrious performance.

Fred also completed four of his five dribbles and came as close as anyone to scoring on the night, with a right-footed strike from outside the box which hit the crossbar on 59 minutes.

Didn’t he win the FA Cup and Community Shield for them? How many has your Ole won after spending the US defense budget?

Neymar is adored in Brazil because he won them the Olympics...

I don't want Rodgers here but 80% of the time they faltered, it had more to do with their thin squad being decimated by injuries to key players and not that Rodgers bottled it...

Under 20 world cup brought him and Mikel to limelight.

Olympics soccer is not a senior tournament. It for under 23 players

Big man! No be wahala.

Thing is; Ucl is the only place Zidane can excel with ManU right now, maybe FA cup too.

We have Conte, Tuchel, Klopp and Pep in the league managing quality teams, it’ll be very difficult for a new manager to break in and start making waves tbh.

ManU too get quality players wey fit confuse managers on where to even play them.

You can’t even manage ManU if you are not experienced with rotation and we know how difficult it is, to regularly rotate players in EPL.

It takes a very tactical manager to succeed with it.

Na Zidane wey manage senior players in their 30s you dey downplay like this?

Not to even add that the players were superstars and had already Landed the much coveted La decima

Then he used them to win one UCL and after that, 2 more


Football-wise, what job could be more difficult than having to manage the likes of Ramos, CR7, Bale, Benzema, Marcelo?

Make I no even mention the likes of asensio, Modric Isco and co

Someday, I believe we'll have an extensive discourse to debunk this myth that Zidane is not a tactical manager.

The only thing MUFC needs is for Ole to leave.

You buy Sancho, you no use am
VDB nkor, no game time
Need I mention Telles?

OLE is the only clog in the wheel of real Progress.

For Fvcks sake players yakpa for MUFC

Elanga, Amad and Co

Any manager that knows his onions will promote these guys and develop them into stars but OLE na established players he want

This is why I will always respect Chelsea when it comes to player development

Majority of their younsters just dey rep anyhow.

Quick question: with the way MUFC squad dey now, when will the likes of Amad Diallo, Pellesteri, Elanga and co get fully involved

What about the older midfielder at Nottingham Forest?

OLE is very very Useless!

Messi fans and their delusions. All of a sudden Copa America has become a big deal. Alexis Sanchez dun win am but once Messi wins it, it becomes a big deal

Talk about someone's Lifetime achievement trophy, eh?

What a joke

If Nigeria vex now, them fit send key players for Kano Pillars and Warri wolves go Oluumpiks

I didn’t downplay Zidane, even said he can do well in Ucl with ManU.

But you see that Epl? Lol, I don’t see him going anywhere with ManU.

Not when Tuchel, Pep, Klopp and Conte are managing quality teams.

It’s your confidence for me

Cr7 has won 2 trophies so I guess you added nations league as the other one ,but Messi has won only 1 trophy and Olympic is not a major trophy

You are comedian

Who is Mikel that excused him self that made it not to be a major tournament?

Same tournament Daniel alves of all people played to win it at 38 ? Should we tell you they Daniel alves is the most decorated footballer of all time ?

Maybe you will go and remove olympics from his honors and tell him it’s not a major trophy

Is Nations League a senior tournament?

It is not even about number of trophies, but where they took their respective national teams to. Argentina regressed under Messi. Portugal progressed under Ronaldo

For a team that came second through individual brilliance, despite having an utterly useless and confused manager

Not to talk of the fast-paced players in the team -- which is what Zidane loves using

Anyway, the only problem here is Zidane might be holding out for the national team job.

Not cos he's scared of the fraudulent Pep or anybody else

He fvcked majority, if not all of them in the arse during UCL.

That's enough memory

So senior players no Dey take part for olympic even if e Dey limited ?

As far as senior players do take part at the Olympics it’s a major tournament

You can go and ask Daniel alves ,Daniel Alves is a trophy goat so as far as he took part at the Olympics at 38 it’s remains a major tournament

Portugal progressed under cr7 but they always fail at the World Cup

I can’t wait to see telles swinging in his crosses to c.ron. Make he just work on hin defense side and needs to work harder.

Copa finals be looking like a fixed friendly match cos they want make Messi at least win something
