Fred reacts to Erik ten Hag appointment as Man Utd manager

The Dutchman will join the club from the end of this season until June 2025, with the option to extend for a further year, subject to work visa requirements. In the meantime, the 52-year-old will focus on the campaign’s conclusion with AFC Ajax and their Eredivisie title race. 

Hard-working Fred has been a consistent starter under four different managers at Old Trafford and the popular Brazilian is eager to prove himself all over again. But more importantly, he is excited about the prospect of ten Hag developing our team into one that wins trophies again. 

“It’s great news,” says Fred in an interview with Premier League Productions. “He’s a world-class coach who will help us a lot here. I’ve watched Ajax and they are a great team who play good football. We know he helps us a lot and hopefully next year we can win trophies.”
