fred
performed his role well by keeping FDJ quiet. scored more goals this season by making runs into the pen area with casemiro as the shield. currently the best option as a box-to-box MC with his energy and workrate but needs to cut out errors
EFL final
last nite win is a great boost to form, morale and confidence ahead of the EFL final. even though its a minor cup, a win is an important milestone in the rebuild plan

Have to agree Fred always play well with his fellow countrymen Casemiro behind him.
He can fully concentrate doing the man marking on his intended target.
Casemiro probably a very complete player for Man U. The ability to play a long instinctive pass whilst clearing the ball from the back.
I see he did it many times during the 1st half against Barca.
Really need a very intelligent speedy forward to latch on to his passes.
Onwards to the Caraboa Cup final. ETH will want to win this one at all cost. All his expertise, hardwork, will come down to this match.
Quotes from ETH:
"An era can come to an end" ...responding to queries on what he think of Liverpool and Man City. He said this 9 months ago.
Every club big or small, will have their own cycle of ups n downs. True fans will support their club through thick and thin.
"It's not success, but the road to success. Success is (winning) trophies!" .... responding to reporter question (after Barca win) on whether he thinks his recent 'success' at still maintaining a foothold in all 4 competitions and achievements in the league are due to his squad rotation tactics.
