Watford striker Troy Deeney has revealed that his side targeted midfielder Fred as Manchester United's weak link, claiming that the Brazilian gave the ball away "three or four times a game".
Fred joined Manchester United from Shakhtar Donetsk in 2018, moving to Old Trafford in a transfer that cost up to £52.5 million ($70m).
Having struggled initially under Jose Mourinho, the Brazilian has stepped up under Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, appearing 48 times in all competitions last season.
