Manchester United midfielder Fred knows all about the illustrious history of the giant club he represents.
The Brazilian midfielder was signed by Jose Mourinho from Shakhtar Donetsk, but has failed to show any of the qualities that resulted in links to Manchester City and other top teams.
But Fred insists he understands the club's standards and hopes he can help them return to the top.
He told Esporte Interativo: "I do understand it [the club history].
"Every day when I arrive at the training ground, when I see those big letters with the name of the club, I pinch myself.
"So I know this club is gigantic. I like to read about its history, best players and historical moments.
"It hasn't been great times for us our rivals are winning titles and we're not even in the Champions League. It makes our fans sad and I feel sad as well.
"This club deserves silverware and we're going to fight to get better. We have to put United back in the place it should never have left."
