3 players who might not be in Solskjaer's plans at Manchester United

#2 Fred

Fred's time at Manchester United has not been good so far

The Brazilian was identified as the final jigsaw of Mourinho's midfield puzzle, however, even under the Portuguese, Fred had done very little to justify his place in the team. He does have qualities, but with half of the season already gone, he has failed to impress.

He was supposed to be an upgrade to Ander Herrera, but in truth, the Spaniard still looks miles better than the Brazilian in every aspect. Fred was on the bench in Solskjaer's first game, against Cardiff, where he came on for the last 11 minutes.

He was selected to start the following game as he replaced Herrera. However, Fred had little impact on the game and looked out of place. Solskjaer replaced him with Ander Herrera, eight minutes into the second half. He started again in the FA Cup tie against Reading but did nothing to impress yet again. With a top-four finish on the line, Fred may not get many opportunities this season.
