Confirmed: Manchester United have found an unexpected Bruno Fernandes replacement after Tottenham win
Fred's inventiveness
The spotlight was always going to be
on one player for Manchester United's
first goal, but Fred was unquestionably
the unsung hero of a stunning shot.
The show-stopping moment was Cristiano
Ronaldo's rocket of a finish, but he had
room to exploit courtesy to Fred grabbing
Rodrigo Bentancur's attention in midfield
and then flicking a beautiful pass into
the path of his centre forward, effectively
pulling his opponent's midfielder
out of the game.
Under Ralf Rangnick, Fred has often
played in a more advanced role, where his
pressing can be better utilized, but it has
also helped to uncover some inventiveness
in his game that had been missing until now.
