Manchester United midfielder Fred was delighted with victory at Manchester City.

The Brazilian was impressive for the 2-1 win.

He told The National: “Good, good game, good win for us.

“I'm so very happy with our performance today. It's now a sequence of games I am playing well. I'm very happy about this. We must carry on playing like this."

Fred admits the pace in attack offers United a growing threat.

He added: “The fastest I have played in. It's exciting. We can make the ball to get to [Marcus] Rashford, Antony [Martial], DJ (Daniel James) and then they can score.

"They can get even faster on the counterattack if I can get them the ball quicker. This is my goal, make the ball to get there even quicker. We did that in the first half, that's where we won the game."

Fred had a choice over joining United or City.

“I chose United," he said. “I made the right decision."
