Fred to undergo medical at United
Manchester United
are expected to sign
Brazilian midfielder
Fred in the coming
days, with the
player to undergo a
medical at the
Premier League club
on Monday,
according to
Brazilian media reports.
Shakhtar Donetsk midfielder Fred featured as
an 82nd-minute substitute in Brazil's 2-0
friendly win over Croatia at Anfield on Sunday
and Globo's sports website said he would then
take the short trip to Manchester to undergo a
medical prior to a €55 million transfer.
Asked about the reports, Brazil coach Tite said:
"When this happens, and it is inevitable, they
are going to come to us and our advice to
them is resolve this as soon as you can so your
head is back with us and focusing on the
national team."
"If I was a manager I'd ask to sign him as
well," he added.
The 25-year-old central midfielder joined
Ukrainian club Shakhtar from Brazilian side
Internacional in 2013 and has been a part of
their Champions League campaigns.
United did not immediately respond to a
request for a comment.
A spokesman for the Brazilian Football
Federation (CBF) declined to comment on the
reports but said the team would have a day off
on Monday.
Brazil will play another friendly, against Austria
in Vienna, on June 10 before heading to Russia
where they will face Switzerland, Costa Rica
and Serbia in Group E.
