Fred makes transfer admission as Manchester United consider sale

Fred admits he needs to discuss his future with Erik ten Hag as Manchester United contemplate selling him in the summer transfer window.

The Manchester Evening News revealed earlier this week that Fred has emerged as a target for Fulham amid his uncertain future at Old Trafford.

Fulham manager Marco Silva was filmed speaking with Fred following their clash on the final day of the Premier League season, and it is understood intermediaries have already proposed a possible move for the 30-year-old this summer.

Fred was the only outfield player to feature in every United matchday squad this season, but he could be allowed to leave as United look to recruit a younger midfielder.

The Brazilian international started in the FA Cup final defeat to Man City, but his poor showing could well be the last competitive appearance he makes in a United shirt.

"Of course I always want to be playing, to be helping my team, and gladly today I started, and I think we played well," he told TNT Sports.

When quizzed on his transfer future, he added: "I still don't know, I have to talk with my family. I still have one year left on my contract here. Now it's holiday time and a good opportunity to rest. I'll talk to my staff, to the club, and see what everyone's decision is."

"I do have to talk with Ten Hag as well; he's the manager, and the conversation has to involve everyone. We have to see how next season will play out. I want to be important; I want to help the team, so we'll see. But I've always been and still am very happy at Manchester United."
