#1 Fred
The Brazilian was selected to start as the deep-lying midfielder, ahead of Matic who was rested for the game. It was a position that Fred was not too familiar with, but he actually started the game pretty well. The Brazilian looked assured, moved the ball around well and also carried out his defensive duties. However, things soon fell out of place for him.
In the 25th minute, Fred received a pass from De Gea, a few yards away from his own box, but mis-controlled the ball. The Wolves midfield was on his case in a flash and took advantage of some lax defending to score through Diogo Jota. It hurt the midfielder’s confidence and Fred never took control again.
The Brazilian looked nervous and continuously lost the ball until he became a liability for the team. He was ultimately substituted in the 65th minute.
