Brazil legend Rivaldo has urged Fred not to leave Manchester United.
The midfielder struggled in his debut season and reports have linked him with a move to Turkey this summer.
"Things haven't been easy for Fred at Manchester United and some people say he should find another club. But I disagree with that," he told Betfair.
"He is a good player who needs to be patient and keep working hard to earn a starting position in the United midfield.
"I don't think leaving would solve his problems, and it would be preferable to stay and keep fighting for his place."
