Diogo Dalot praises ‘underdog’ Fred

Diogo Dalot was full of praise for Man United midfielder Fred.

Manchester United Football Club are heading in a different direction under Ralf Rangnick. This appointment is already feeling like an astute one from the club.

The 1-0 victory at home to Crystal Palace was certainly deserved, though you probably would hope for at least another goal or two to make it more comfortable.

It was Fred who came up with the winner, with an outstanding right-footed strike from distance. What’s even more impressive is that goal capped off a genuinely world-class performance from the Brazilian.

After the game, Diogo Dalot was full of praise for the United star, who he labelled the ‘underdog’ who always ‘gives everything that he has’.

Check out what Dalot had to say in full here:

“He’s the underdog. Everybody can criticise him but he keeps his head clear and goes on the pitch, every game he gives everything that he has, and that’s what this club is about.” Dalot told ManUtd.com.

“Even if you lose the ball or miss a shot on goal, you’re always going to try the next one and you’re always going to fight for the team and that’s what we want. Players like that are what we want.

The one thing about Fred you cannot fault is his work ethic. The former Shakhtar Donetsk man has always covered every single blade of grass and worked his socks off for the cause.

In those big games, he turns into either the key player or the let-down. Often, his passing or bad decision-making can let him down but over the last few weeks, Fred has definitely played an awful lot better in that regard.

I’m hoping that the intense coaching from Rangnick will further help Fred in that regard. He’s now got someone who obviously fully believes in him at the helm and hopefully, the Brazilian will continue to improve as a footballer.

For now, having that confidence can only be a good thing. Let’s see if he can carry that ability into the game against Young Boys this midweek.
