Fred, 30, did not make an appearance during the club’s pre-season opener against Leeds in Norway.

Man United have said that the Brazilian did not feature against the Championship as a “precaution”.

However, the club did not say that he was injured and that he is “managing his workload”.

Feed last played six weeks ago and has since been on his holidays during the off-season.

He had travelled with the squad for the match in Oslo that saw Mason Mount make his debut.

United won the game 2-0 with goals coming from youngsters Noam Emeran and Joe Hugill.

Since the end of the season, Fred has been linked with a move away from Old Trafford.

Premier League side Fulham have been heavily suggested to have an interest in signing the midfielder.

While the Cottagers also face competition from clubs in Saudi Arabia who are set to try and swoop for him.

Fred is understood to be keen to play an important role for a club at this stage of his career.

He has also picked new agents as he looks to secure a move.

He will now be managed by the same team of agents as Arsenal striker Gabriel Jesus.
