Manchester United midfielder Fred has admitted that he has found life difficult this season.

The Brazilian has been in and out of the team under manager Erik Ten Hag in all competitions.

While he has been involved in 55 games, only 22 of those have come from the start this term.

Fred told FourFourTwo: “In terms of my own performance, I believe I've played well, although I wish I'd had more minutes on the pitch.

“Whenever I was on the field, I think I delivered what was expected from me to help the team succeed."

Fred added: “We're conscious that we could have gone further in the Europa League but, all things considered, I've been happy with our season.

“I was over the moon with my first trophy at the club, which shows that our team is on the right path after years of reconstruction."
