Watford midfielder Tom Cleverley is happy seeing Fred gain recognition at former club Manchester United.

Former United midfielder Cleverly says he's a fan of the Brazilian.

"Martinez and Casemiro have been great signings and Eriksen before he got injured. I love watching their midfield and I'm really pleased that Fred is coming good," Cleverley told the Man United Scandinavian Supporters' Club.

"It's a good midfield to watch. There's good balance in the team now, to have that one defensive player [Casemiro] who is world-class as well as Bruno, Fred, Eriksen and McTominay, they've created a balance between being defensively solid and creative

"I think the problem has been solved and Casemiro has been massive in that. Yeah, massively [Fred underrated], within that dressing room Fred will have for sure a lot more respect than he does in the outside football world.

"Hopefully that's all that matters to Fred personally, I think a lot of people can see what he does without the ball, the intensity he plays at and I'm glad that he's been able to add some goals to that now, to get the recognition he deserves."
