'Greatest of all time' - Manchester United fans hail Fred after another key goal

Manchester United fans have lauded Fred after the Brazilian's key equaliser against Leicester City.

After a dull first half, the clash sparked into life in the second half. Former Manchester City striker Kelechi Iheanacho headed Leicester in front before, just three minutes late, Fred slammed home a loose ball after Bruno Fernandes ' snapshot from the edge of the box was parried by Kasper Schmeichel.

It was a goal out of almost nothing, with the Reds lacking any real creative edge prior to the introduction of Marcus Rashford. There was little threat after the equaliser, with VAR coming to the rescue to rule out a potential James Maddison winner.

United knew going into the game that their Champions League hopes could not afford further dropped points. Tottenham and Arsenal both play on Sunday when they can now move further away from United.
