'The merit is all his': Fred's personal trainer reveals the hard work the star has put in to turn around his career at Manchester United after tough start

Fred's personal trainer Julio Horta has given an insight into the work the midfielder has carried out to turnaround his Manchester United career – but believes the star deserves all the credit.

The Brazilian had a difficult first season after arriving at Old Trafford in a £52million move from Shakhtar Donetsk in the summer of 2018.

He had already been capped by his country and played in the Champions League while with the Ukranian side.

But poor form and a supposed lack of defensive nous saw the 27-year-old fall out of favour under then-manager Jose Mourinho, while he also struggled to establish himself when Ole Gunnar Solskjaer took charge.
