Former Shakhtar player Fred spoke about working with Jose Mourinho in Manchester United, and also why he did not move to Manchester City.

"Offer from Manchester City? Yes, it's true. I received an offer from the “townspeople” and even spoke to my Brazilian friends who play in Manchester City.. They tried to convince me to go to them, but in the end, this did not happen.. In the summer I had other offers, including from Manchester United. I quickly realized that moving to Old Trafford is the right move for me ".

"Mourinho is a top, top professional. Every football player likes to train under the guidance of such a winner.. I am constantly learning something from him. He may be strict, but that’s his job.. He is also friendly and cheerful outside the field and constantly joking with us in the locker room.. Jose played a decisive role in my move to Manchester United..

I am grateful to him for the interest he shows in my game ".

"God, it's very cold in Ukraine. Have you ever been there? I used to think it was impossible to live in such cold conditions. But I adapted - this is life. Manchester is a lot easier. But now it's only autumn, we'll see what will happen in winter ", - said Fred in an interview to FourFourTwo.

This season, Fred took part in eight games for Manchester United, in which he scored one goal and gave one score pass.
