Luckily, Reds supporters hopefully don’t have to wait until the start of the season to see him play, as the midfielder is currently representing Brazil at the World Cup.
Fred could be on show when Brazil face Costa Rica on Thursday (13:00 BST) and, on Wednesday, (19:00) he could come up against his new central-midfield partner, Nemanja Matic, in their final group game against Serbia. Of course, this is depending on whether he makes the line-up after missing the 1-1 draw with Switzerland due to injury.
Should Brazil progress to the last 16, they will play one of the top two from Group F, which would, most likely, be one of Mexico, Sweden or current holders Germany.
