Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has assured Fred he has a future at Manchester United .
The Brazilian midfielder was a big-money arrival from Shakhtar Donetsk a year ago but endured a tricky first season in the Premier League.
Fred missed the start of pre-season as he got married but there has been suggestions Solskjaer may look to move him on this summer.
Roma and Galatasaray are both believed to be interested in Fred, who cost £53m when he moved to Old Trafford a year ago.
But the Sun reports Fred has held regular phone calls with Solskjaer and been told he is part of his plans.
United are believed to have turned down loan enquiries for Fred with Solskjaer confident he will enjoy a better second season.
The midfielder has flown out to join up with his teammates in Perth ahead of their second pre-season friendly with Leeds.
Fred is unlikely to be involved against the Championship side, although he has been working on his fitness in private sessions.
David de Gea, Romelu Lukaku, Victor Lindelof and Eric Bailly are all set to make their first appearances of pre-season.
“All of them were training yesterday,” confirmed Solskjaer in his press conference.
“No one missed training, so 24 [outfield] players plus the keepers. Lee Grant is still not fit and maybe we won’t risk Luke Shaw, we’re not sure, but Rom, Vic and Eric who missed the first game, they are fit.
“If we see Leeds back up in the Premier League one day I’m sure you will see the size of the game.
“It’s a great occasion for both sets of supporters and the players as well, because there were some fantastic games [in the past].”
