Fred on the Move: Manchester United Set £20m Price Tag for Midfielder
Manchester United have set their price to sell Fred this summer, with Premier League side Fulham interested in signing the Brazilian midfielder. The Red Devils have slapped a £20m price tag on the 30-year-old, who has just one year left on his contract.
Fulham’s Interest in Fred
Fulham are strongly interested in a deal for Fred and are hoping that a compromise can be reached with Manchester United. The west Londoners are not willing to pay the full £20m asking price, but could be willing to negotiate. Fulham manager Marco Silva was spotted having a chat with Fred outside Old Trafford on the final day of the Premier League season in May.
Fred’s Career at Manchester United
Fred joined Manchester United from Shakhtar Donetsk in 2018 in a deal worth £47m. Since then, he has made 213 appearances for the Red Devils. However, with Erik ten Hag looking to bolster his midfield options in the summer transfer window, Fred’s opportunities could be limited if he stays at Old Trafford.
Other Players Up for Sale at Manchester United
Manchester United are also looking to offload a number of other players this summer. Scott McTominay has attracted interest from a number of Premier League clubs, but is regarded as less of a priority to sell than Fred. Harry Maguire, Anthony Martial, Eric Bailly and Alex Telles are also up for sale, while Anthony Elanga may also be allowed to leave if the right offer comes in.
Conclusion
It looks like Fred could be on his way out of Manchester United this summer, with Fulham interested in signing the Brazilian midfielder. The Red Devils have set their asking price at £20m and it remains to be seen whether Fulham will be willing to pay that much or if a compromise can be reached. Meanwhile, there are a number of other players up for sale at Old Trafford, with Scott McTominay and Harry Maguire among those who could be on the move.
