Hull City supremo Acun Ilicali has named ex-Manchester United star Fred as a player he wants to sign.

The 31-year-old was at United until the summer, when he went to Turkey to sign for Fenerbahce.

Fred has enjoyed a revival of his fortunes in Turkey, shining as one of the most important players for his team.

Ilicali Hull chief told Sabah: "If I had the right to buy two footballers at the end of the season, I would close my eyes and buy Fred.

"Seri-Fred-Ozan trio would be so good that you can sit and watch it with pleasure."

He then added: "Take [Galatasaray's Fernando] Muslera, welcome to the Premier League."
