Manchester United midfielder Fred scored one of the goals that gave the Red Devils victory over Barcelona. His performances during the match impressed his coach Ten Hag.
The Dutch manager gave a press conference after the match to talk about the players' skills and his impressions of the match.
"Fred had an important role already last week in Barcelona, this week the same. He had first to stop Frenkie de Jong from playing, he had to play as a mosquito around him and go behind him and he did it magnificently. Last week, I think he gave a brilliant assist for Rashy [Marcus Rashford] in Barcelona, and today he scored the goal. A brilliant performance.
"I think so [he can play further forward]. What he can do really well is make runs behind in the right moment, he has the timing, to get behind the midfielders of Barcelona was part of our game-plan in Barcelona and now again, it was really effective to make the runs," Ten Hag said.
