Fred included in Manchester United squad versus Liverpool after injury concern

Fred has been included in Manchester United's squad to play Liverpool on Sunday afternoon.

The Brazilian midfielder sustained a knock against Atalanta in midweek which forced him to leave the pitch. "I can't say if he's [Fred] gonna be fit or not but he'll give everything he can to be there for us," Ole Gunnar Solskjaer said in his pre-match press conference.

However, Fred has now shared an image from within Old Trafford which has confirmed that he has indeed made the United squad.

That means that despite the injury concern, Fred will be in contention to start against United's fierce rivals Liverpool.

There was confusion before Sunday's match as Fred was not pictured with United's squad on their way to The Lowry Hotel, but the rules outline that he's actually forbidden from a team hotel stay as he's still in ‘quarantine’ after playing with Brazil last week.

Fred and Scott McTominay started against Atalanta and it seems the pair could start in the double pivot again against Liverpool.
