'You get confidence from playing games' - Fred's 'excellent' display against Brighton delights Man Utd boss Solskjaer

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer feels Fred is increasing in confidence after an 'excellent' display in Manchester United's 3-1 victory against Brighton at Old Trafford on Sunday.

The Red Devils put the disappointment of last weekend's 1-0 defeat at Bournemouth behind them to see off Graham Potter's side in comfortable fashion ahead of the international break.

Andreas Pereira's deflected effort gave the hosts the lead after just 17 minutes before Fred's free kick two minutes later was bundled into his own net by Davy Propper.
