Fred has not set the Premier League alight since joining Manchester United from Shakhtar Donetsk, but he feels he is making strides. New Manchester United signing Fred is starting to feel good about his adaptation at the club after a slow start.
Fred is reported to have cost United £53 million (€59m/$69m) after impressing at Shakhtar Donetsk during a five-year spell in Ukraine. Although he showed flashes of class, Fred’s form in his first few matches was disappointing and he looked rusty on his Premier League debut against Leicester City.
“I was really happy [to score],” Fred told MUTV. “I even had the chance to dedicate it to my son that will be born soon. This goal was really important to me and I hope it is the first of many.
“I’m still adapting to many things and in the previous games I wasn’t playing as well as I was playing before I joined the club.
“Now I feel much better and to be able to score my first goal was really amazing.”
