FRED received a red card for STAMPING on an opponent in a forgettable pre-season friendly for Manchester United.
The Brazil international was given his marching orders in second-half stoppage time for a sickening stamp on Atletico Madrid hit man Alvaro Morata.
Fred hacked the former Chelsea man to the ground before jumping in the air and stamping on the striker’s thigh.
The midfielder tried to plead his innocence but was shown a second yellow by the referee.
United fans were quick to comment on the 29-year-old’s dismissal, with one saying: ” Fred was our MOTM by far.
“Clumsy tackle and a deserved card at the end though.”
Another one: “Fred and Maguire as starters in that MUFC team will always bring the same old result!”
And another one said: “Fred the red by name and nature it seems.”
One remarked: “Fred the red.”
Another chimed in: “Despite the late red card Fred had a generally good performance.”
