Fred reveals contact with Raphinha

United and the Catalans have been involved in several classic European clashes down the years, including two 3-3 draws in the Champions League group-stages during the famous 1998/99 Treble season.

Fred was asked about these fixtures and, despite not seeing them before, he has plenty of respect for current Barcelona boss Xavi, who lined up against United in 1998.  

“No, I don’t remember this game, but I know Xavi is a good player, and that United had a good midfield as well!”
