Fred is happy at Manchester United

is happy to be able to play alongside the likes of

Pogba

and

Bruno Fernandes

. He had a slow start in the Premier League, and many pundits questioned his abilities, but he proved himself in time.

“Paul Pogba, me and other players have erupted as Manchester United erupted,”

Fred told the Daily Mail

.

“'Paul was always saying that he wanted to do more, to play more, to win more and we see that in training. There is a lot of talent in him and we see it every day. But I have to include our leader, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, when I talk about the club because he is a guy who knows how to get into the players' minds, their skin, making us play better and I grew in confidence.

“He did not say a lot, but I became a starter, kept playing, and I feel that it was his trust that made it possible.

“At the beginning, I felt the distance from other players and I even felt alone sometimes.

“I lacked support maybe, but I could not speak the language that well, so it sort of became a barrier between the players and me.

“I knew there was just one recipe to success: keep on training, not letting those bad comments affect my mind. If I was an angry guy, I guess I'd have thrown it all away because of what I heard during those times.”
