Galatasaray made the initial offer to purchase, but Galatasaray’s rival in Turkey, Fenerbahce, was able to effectively cut the upper hand by offering a price that was more reasonable. On August 10, Manchester United agreed to accept an offer of $ 17 million from the team that finished in second place in the Turkish Championship the previous year. According to Team Talk, Fenerbahce and Fred have also come to an accord on a personal level.

The previous year at Manchester United, Fred was demoted to the bench after head coach Erik Ten Hag made the decision to play Casemiro and Christian Eriksen. If the Brazilian midfielder remains with Manchester United after this summer’s acquisition of further Mason Mount and the retention of Scott McTominay, he may end up being only the fifth option in the middle of the field.

It’s possible that Sofyan Amrabat will re-sign with Manchester United when Fred leaves the club. Amrabat has a contract with Fiorentina that will last for one year and is worth approximately 33 million USD. If everything goes according to plan, the Moroccan midfielder, who is 26 years old, will become Manchester United’s fourth highest-paid employee this summer.

In the past, the “Red Devils” have paid a total of $ 83 million to get striker Rasmus Hojlund from Atalanta, $ 60 million to acquire goalkeeper Andre Onana from Inter Milan, and $ 70 million to purchase Mason Mount from Chelsea.

Aside from Fred, Manchester United also parted ways with goalkeeper David De Gea, sent Donny Van de Beek to Sociedad on loan, sold Alex Telles to Al Nassr, Anthony Elanga to Nottingham Forest, and Harry Maguire to West Ham. The total amount of money made is approximately 82 million USD.

Fred was transferred to Manchester United from Shakhtar Donetsk in 2018 for a fee of 59 million dollars. The Brazilian midfielder, who is now 30 years old, participated in 213 games over the course of five seasons, during which he scored 14 goals and won the English League Cup. Fred is a Brazilian player who helped his country advance to the final of the Copa America 2021 as well as the quarterfinals of the World Cups in both 2018 and 2022.

Wolves and Manchester United are scheduled to meet for the first time in the Premier League 2023-2024 on the 14th of August. The “Red Devils” will soon be making appearances as guests on the playing fields of Tottenham, Arsenal, and Nottingham.
