Manchester United star Fred reveals his fury at Jose Mourinho

Fred revealed he was annoyed with Jose Mourinho after his lack of first-team football cost him a place in Brazils most recent squad.

The former Shakhtar Donetsk midfielder has struggled to make an impact at Old Trafford and has found himself on the sidelines in recent weeks.

As a result, Fred was left out of Brazils squad to face Uruguay and Cameroon in November – and he couldnt hid his frustraion at the situation.

Ive played very little at United, so its normal for Professor Tite not to be able to evaluate me, even though Ive worked hard with him before, Fred said.

Of course, I was annoyed, but I have to know how to deal with the sadness to be able to help me take a step forward.

While Fred was frustrated at Mourinho dropping him, he has vowed to prove himself at Manchester United and to not let his disappointment affect him.

The coach has chosen not to put me in the team. Thats his choice. I still do my job and I cant let it affect my mindset, I cannot let that shake me. I have to be patient.

Its been a bit of a difficult start for me at United because I have not been ­playing so much. I had a lot of games in Shakhtar, but its a little bit different here. Its normal, of course, a process of adaptation to a different league.

Although Ive been to Europe before, now I am in a different country and I have to go through a new process of ­settling in. But today I see myself much better and I hope that my football will be 100% soon.

I think I had a great performance against Young Boys in the Champions League. We had the opportunity to score a few times before we scored the goal at the end, but I was very happy to have returned to the field and I hope to continue playing more.

I remain focused on my work at ­Manchester United.

And I hope to be back in the squad soon for my country to be able to be in the Copa America for Brazil.
