Manchester United 2-1 Barcelona (4-3 on agg): Fred and Antony send Man Utd into Europa League last 16
Fred has had plenty of detractors since his £47m move to United from Shakhtar Donetsk in 2018.
Yet, as Ten Hag has admitted, anyone capable of playing regularly for Brazil has to be a good player and this was one of those occasions when he proved it.Fred's goal was an excellent effort as he moved into space on the edge of the area, unseen by Barca's Dutch midfielder Frenkie de Jong, who United spent so long trying to sign in the summer.
The goal transformed the contest. Fred then used his energy to break down Barcelona counter attacks, make surging runs that unsettled the visitors and even did the simple passing right, which he quite often gets wrong.
