Man Utd matchwinner Fred dominates stats for victory over Crystal Palace

Manchester United midfielder Fred dominated the pitch and the stats for Sunday's 1-0 win against Crystal Palace.

The midfielder came up with a late winner against the Eagles which kept United in the hunt for a Champions League spot.

Fred was the stand-out star in a United midfield featuring Bruno Fernandes and Scott McTominay.

He also won the battle against a Palace engine room led by in-form England prospect Conor Gallagher.

The Brazilian made more tackles (seven) and won more fouls than any of his team-mates.

He also had the second most touches of the ball (95), and covered a lung-busting 6.8 miles during the clash at Old Trafford.

Fred's goal against Palace to his league tally to two - one more than out-sorts Spurs star Harry Kane.
