As per the Brazilian, United are lacking too much right now.
On the pitch, it's creativity while off the pitch it's the sticking together mentality.
Some players want to solve problems on their own which is wrong, the midfielder explains.
Manchester United have not had a great season so far. Fred has opened up on the Reds' main issues at the moment.
"We are lacking too much right now, first of all, we need to figure out things inside of pitch, we are lacking creativity, especially in midfield," the 26-year-old told De Sola.
"We need to improve also as a group, our group lacks the 'sticking together mentality', we have a lot of inner problems. There are a lot of discussions, well, every group has this sort of problem, but ours has a lot!
"Vanity is also an issue and we need to stop this and just run inside the pitch! We need to stick an objective inside of our heads and focus on it and go forward.
"We need to be on the same page and today some players are differing in objectives, there are players that just want to solve problems alone and this is wrong."
Indeed, this campaign is a tough one for United. Since the beginning of December, the Reds have won 5 of their 12 Premier League clashes, losing 4 and drawing the rest 3.
Most recently, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's crew drew 0-0 against Wolverhampton at Old Trafford on the Premier League Matchday 25 last Saturday.
With 35 points after 25 fixtures, United crew are currently seventh in the standings, one point behind Sheffield United, 2 points behind Tottenham, 6 behind Chelsea, who are fourth at the moment, and 38 behind runaway leaders Liverpool.
