Manchester United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer admits he is delighted at the form of Brazilian midfielder Fred.

The central midfielder had a slow start to the season, after being largely absent from the team after the COVID-19 break last term.

But he has found his way back into the team in recent games, including the impressive 2-1 win over Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League last week.

When asked about Fred, his manager told reporters: "He's a very valuable player in the squad.

"He's a great boy to have in and around the team, very positive and his performances on the pitch have been positive when he's been on.

"He's getting better and better, more and more used to the Premier League.

"But, as you see, his fitness and sharpness is very important for us in midfield, alongside Scott - they've had some fantastic games."
