Lyon fullback Rafael da Silva is delighted seeing Fred impressing at Manchester United.

The former United defender is happy seeing the Brazil maintaining a presence at Old Trafford.

He said, “I've been very impressed (with Fred), because, at the beginning, I heard a lot of comments about him. 'Ah, he's no good' or things like that.

“I like what he did, because it's about mentality as well. He's just turned everything around, like you said.

“Maybe he can be our best player at Manchester this season. We can see he's a great player."
