But the Brazilian doesn&#8217;t want to stop there. He has set his sights high to continue improving and reach new heights and goals.<\/p>\n<h2>Manchester United&#8217;s Fred Plans a Big Future<\/h2>\n<h3>Fred Determined to Make the Brazil National Team<\/h3>\n<p>Brazil&#8217;s national is one of the best in the world, and Fred is determined to make the cut.<\/p>\n<p>When asked if he thinks he will return to the Brazil national team soon, he told <a href=\"https:\/\/trivela.com.br\/fred-manchester-united-michael-carrick-entrevista-exclusiva\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Trivela<\/a>: &#8220;Absolutely. All players want to be in the national team, and for me it is no different. This season I&#8217;ve grown a lot. I was not called up, but it is part of life.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;They preferred other options, but, of course, I always keep my dream, I keep my head up. I hope to continue showing my best football, growing every day, and I want to go back to the national team and make history there.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I think what I can offer is my best football, sweat my shirt, give my best, this is what I have to offer.&#8221;<\/p>\n<h3>Domestic Form<\/h3>\n<p>Despite not scoring or providing any assists in 25 Premier League games this season, Fred has vastly improved from last campaign.<\/p>\n<p>The 27-year-old, who has scored twice and added four assists from list six Europa League games, however, joined the Red Devils in a deal worth over \u00a350 million.<\/p>\n<p>Admittedly, that sort of figure doesn&#8217;t seem as exuberant as it used to, but his first season was a disappointment. But now, it appears the Brazilian has found his feet in the English game.<\/p>\n<p>Main Photo<\/p>\n<p><a id=\"ynLff7U4QXFJHUFHOrOgsg\" class=\"gie-single\" style=\"color: #a7a7a7; text-decoration: none; font-weight: normal !important; border: none; display: inline-block;\" href=\"http:\/\/www.gettyimages.co.uk\/detail\/1211338110\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Embed from Getty Images<\/a><script>window.gie=window.gie||function(c){(gie.q=gie.q||[]).push(c)};gie(function(){gie.widgets.load({id:'ynLff7U4QXFJHUFHOrOgsg',sig:'PFtWxNEeV9H3nEixQe1x0VyTcNXrcz82PFCjtFwJDuc=',w:'577px',h:'594px',items:'1211338110',caption: true ,tld:'co.uk',is360: false })});<\/script><script src='\/\/embed-cdn.gettyimages.com\/widgets.js' charset='utf-8' async><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When Fred first moved to Manchester United, things did not go so well.
