Why Fred is an example for United’s squad

While every player will want to be included from the start, modern football is a squad game and Erik has no complaints with how Fred has approached his role recently. 

“Of course, Fred wants to play every game,” he added.

“That’s not always possible and everyone has to battle for his position but there’s good competition in the squad to play and to get into the starting XI, but, once again, we need those players coming from the bench and giving impact to the game.

“Definitely, Fred is the one – there are others as well, but Fred is the example.”
