Manchester United midfielder Scott McTominay has hailed the form of Fred this season.

The Brazil international struggled last season as the club toiled under both Ole Gunnar Solskjaer and Jose Mourinho.

But Fred has been a regular this season and caught the eye with some controlled performances.

McTominay said: “He is a pleasure to play alongside and he is a great guy as well.

“We get on really well and have a good relationship off the pitch.

“He's a pleasure to work with and he's a player who I admire a lot.

“He has come on leaps and bounds in the past few months, and he deserves all of the credit he is getting at the minute. Long may it continue as well."
