Fred opens up on Ole Gunnar Solskjaer and trust within Man Utd dressing room
Fred believes Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's time as a player has helped him as a coach with Manchester United's players benefiting thanks to the Norwegian.
The United boss has just celebrated his second anniversary in charge of the club.
He has taken them to the top of the table, a place many thought was beyond them.
And Fred is one of the biggest examples of players who have improved massively under his leadership.
The Brazilian admits the Red Devils squad has plenty of quality, but feels as if Solskjaer has bought them on.
He also highlighted the togetherness in the group which they've need amid criticism this year for some below par performances.
“He’s the head, he’s our coach. Obviously, the players have a lot of quality, but he helps us a lot in our day to day,” he told Globo Esporte.
“He is a great person; he is a very young coach; he will evolve much more. It is important for us all to work with him, he helps us a lot, he is always talking.
“He always tries to be close; he was a player and knows how things are. He’s a guy that we rate a lot and trust him.
“We hand the work over to him, and we’re doing a great job. We have a lot to work with every day, and I’m sure we will be very successful.”
Nine wins in their last 11 league games has seen United reach the summit – something they haven't done at this stage of a season since Sir Alex Ferguson was in charge.
They head to Liverpool where a win would see them go six points clear of the champions.
The Reds haven't lost at Anfield but Fred insists they will not be content to take a point.
“Dude, I don’t think anybody likes to draw too much, we’ll always go in to win,” he added
“If it’s a draw, it’s a draw. Both teams like to play a lot, they work well on the ball.
“We’ll play to win, they’ll also go in to win. I’m sure it’s going to be a great game. For the fans, you’re going to see it’s going to be a great game too.
“But we’re not thinking about a draw, but a lot about winning, because we know we have the conditions.”
