Manchester United Unveil New Signing Fred
Manchester United's new signing will complete the three-man midfield

Fred (£6.0m) will help Manchester United defensively as well as in attacks. Mourinho will go for a 4-3-3 formation with Fred at the right-hand side of the midfield.

Fred produced 3 goals and 5 assists in the Ukranian Premier League for Shakhtar Donetsk. He played as a defensive midfielder for the whole season. At Manchester United, he will play alongside Pogba, with Matic behind them. So, there will be less defensive duties for him in the Manchester United midfield as compared to Shakhtar's.

He can further improve one of the best defenses in the Premier League with his defensive abilities. United kept 19 clean sheets last season, more than any other team.

Fred's work rate will give him an advantage in BPS (Bonus points system). His ability to tackle, dribble and his tidy use of the ball will boost his potential in BPS and give him an advantage over his teammates in the midfield.
