Manchester United legend Roy Keane has praised Fred following his display in the FA Cup against Reading.

The Brazilian came on the field in the second half for the injured Chrisitan Eriksen and made a huge impact.

Fred nabbed an assist for a stunning Casemiro goal, before scoring himself ten minutes later.

United went on to win the game 3-1, progressing to the last 16 of the competition.

Keane told ITV Sport: "That's probably what I think is his role - coming off the bench, particularly in games like this when the game is done.

Reading fall asleep at a corner, United have looked a bit better on set pieces recently. He just walks in there, he's obviously got a trick, lovely little finish. Poor from Reading, but lovely little finish."
