    Manchester United fans have changed their tune with Fred for being 'actually class' for the past few weeks at Old Trafford.

    Fred was United's unlikely hero as the Brazilian pegged back Barcelona, who had taken the lead in their Europa League second leg on Thursday evening. The Brazilian curled the ball past an outstretched Marc-Andre ter Stegen to tie the sides on the night and on aggregate.

    However, Fred has been silently changing the opinions of Red Devils fans for weeks with solid performances. And United fans have accepted he's become a key player under Erik ten Hag on social media.

    One fan noted: "Fred has actually been class recently!"

    "Three assists and three goals in his last eight games. It's about time some people put some respect on the man's name," a second added. While a third agreed: "Gives everything every game and is putting on top-class performances!"

    And a fourth tweeted: "Yet some plastic fans still run their mouths against him. Respect Fred!"

    Fred registered an assist in the first leg, at the Camp Nou, and he also set up a teammate over the weekend as the Red Devils put Leicester City to the sword.

    The Brazilian's last goal came in the Carabao Cup semi-final second leg at the start of February. Fred was one of two stars to get on the scoresheet as United booked their spot at Wembley.
