Brazilian international midfielder Fred completed his move to the man united he says are the “biggest club in the world” Manchester United for a reported £50m ($67m) on Thursday.

The 25-year-old who missed Brazil’s opening 1-1 draw with Switzerland at the World Cup because of an ankle injury, gives United manager Jose Mourinho a powerful looking midfield, with the Brazilian set to slot in alongside Paul Pogba and Nemanja Matic.

“This is the biggest club in the world and I am delighted to be a part of this amazing team,” Fred told the United website.

“To work with Jose Mourinho, who has won so many trophies in his time as a coach, is an opportunity not to be missed.

“I cannot wait to get started and to meet my new team-mates.

“This is a very exciting time for me with my focus now fully on the World Cup with Brazil.”
