Fred has opened up about a “quiet conversation” he had with Nemanja Matic about Manchester United following Brazil’s 2-0 win over Serbia.
The midfielder followed Diogo Dalot to become the club’s second signing of the summer last week in a deal worth £52.7m.
He will occupy a crucial role in Jose Mourinho’s team next season but his current focus is on a last 16 clash with Mexico at the World Cup, which Brazil reached through beating Serbia 2-0 in their final group game.
Speaking soon after the game, Fred revealed how Matic spoke to him afterwards and noted how he was joining the biggest club in the world.
Fred: “Matic? It was a quiet conversation, he welcomed me to the great club that is Manchester United. We got to change shirts too, he will be a great companion.” #mufc [ESPN]

The 25-year-old can look to Matic for inspiration when it comes to acclimatising to life at United: the sheer pressure, the composure and confidence you need, the stature of the club and, crucially, the psychology of the manager, and what he wants from a player. Matic took all of that into his stride like it was nothing last season.
Fred has been signed to add greater sophistication to United’s attack. Too often the midfield trio – or duo – looked stultified, static, unable to move play forward. And Fred has earned a place in the Brazil squad – and now Man United’s starting XI – off the back of his capacity to quell midfield inertia.
Mourinho has always placed emphasis on that ‘killer pass’ from midfield. Fred’s task is to simply do that.
