Time for red Fred
BRAZIL star Fred is set to move to Manchester this summer – with City and United scrapping it out for the Shakhtar Donetsk midfielder.
Manchester United have come in strongly for the 25-year-old anchorman as Jose Mourinho looks to bolster his midfield options.
City made enquiries about Fred in January and have been strongly linked with a summer move for the Brazil international.
It now seems certain he will move to the Premier League with Manchester his most likely option and his advisor, former Arsenal midfielder Gilberto Silva has confirmed he wants to move to England.
Shakhtar’s valuation could be a sticking point with the auction likely to go over £50million.
Arsenal have also been interested but the price tag is likely to deter them.
Mourinho has made it clear he wants to spend big again to challenge City next season.
