Manchester United midfielder Fred sat out of yesterday's friendly win against Leeds in Oslo.

Fred was part of the traveling squad, but was left out of the matchday squad for United's 2-0 win.

United insist Fred was not considered for selection due to "load".

However, the Brazil midfielder is expected to be sold in the coming days and could've been kept on the margins to avoid injury.

Fulham are in talks with United to sign Fred.
