Fred had a message about team unity after Manchester United's defeat of Tottenham last night.

Fred produced one of his greatest performances since joining United in Wednesday's 2-0 win over Tottenham at Old Trafford. The Brazilian midfielder scored the opening goal and dominated the midfield battle from start to finish.

He said: "It was a collective game which was very important for our team. We did a good pressing and we built a result with all the hard work that we've done. It's a collective result and a very important one.

"Our team worked hard for this. We are adapting with the new coach, the pre-season and now starting the season, game after game. So we talk in the changing room, we help each other. This win was very important to the team."

Fred has praised the impact of fellow Brazilian Casimero following his arrival from Real Madrid in a £70m deal. He added: "I'm very happy playing next to Casemiro. It's very important being side by side with him - and playing with him improves my football.

"I can't say anything about Casemiro. Everybody knows his qualities and how important he is for the team. We have big games at this club all of the time and it's a midfield where we have big players."
