Fred has described his time at Manchester United as “a true dream” as the Brazilian international gets ready to finalise his transfer to Fenerbahce.
The 30-year-old midfielder moved to Old Trafford from Shakhtar Donetsk in 2018 and has made 213 appearances for the club.
Fred is now heading to Turkey to join Fenerbahce, who have agreed a deal worth an initial 10 million euros (£8.6 million), rising to a possible 15 million euros (£12.9 million).
Thanks for everything, Manchester United Football Club.
