FIFA 20: Manchester United's Brandon Williams and Fred upgraded in latest update

Ahead of their Europa League clash against Club Brugge on Thursday night, Manchester United find themselves in a good run of form, having gone undefeated in their last six games in all competitions.

The arrival of January signing Bruno Fernandes has clearly had an impact, but the form of players like Brandon Williams and Fred can't be understated after playing a big part in their recent performances and results.

Fred struggled on his arrival at United but is now a key player under Ole Gunnar Solskjaer in the centre of midfield. Williams is having a breakout season at the club, in what is his first full season in senior football, making himself a key member of the first team squad.

As such, EA SPORTS have decided to upgrade both Brandon Williams and Fred in the latest FIFA 20 database update, with a number of other players having details changed on their profiles.

Here are the latest changes to the Manchester United squad on FIFA 20 as of February 24, 2020.

Brandon Williams - Upgrade

Williams has been given a significant upgrade on FIFA 20, to better reflect his real-life improvement as a player.

The English defender's heading accuracy (55-57), dribbling (67-70), long passing (57-59), reactions (65-68), jumping (69-72), stamina (69-74) and vision (55-57) have all been upgraded in the latest update.

But there's no change his his overall rating which is still 68, with his potential ability also staying at 84.

Fred - Upgrade

Fred has also been given a big upgrade on the game, with his technical attributes seeing the most improvements.

The Brazilian's crossing (70-74), short passing (77-78), long passing (80-81), reactions (81-82), stamina (82-84), aggression (80-81), vision (77-79) and composure (79-80) have all been upgraded.

His overall ability stays at 79, with his potential at 81.

Tahith Chong - Upgrade

Chong's sprint speed (78-80) and shot power (68-73) has been upgraded in the latest FIFA 20 update, but his dribbling (68-67), sees a slight downgrade.

Odion Ighalo - profile change

According to FIFA 20, Ighalo has put on a bit of weight on his arrival at United.

That's right, his weight has been upped from 154lbs to 161lbs in the latest update. Surely it's all muscle!

Dylan Levitt - profile change

Levitt's height has been upped in the latest update, with the midfielder now standing at 5ft 11in, up from 5ft 10in.

Looks like he's had a bit of a growth spurt.
