Manchester United new signing, Fred will undergo a scan on Friday as Brazil waits on the extent of his ankle injury.

Dr Lasmar said: "Fred has started his recovery work but he still has pain.
"It is too early to do any diagnosis, we have to wait for the first 24 hours."
He added: "He could wake up tomorrow without complaints, but we need to have an exam.
"We have to wait."
Brazil fly out to Vienna for their final warm-up game against Austria on Sunday, a week ahead of their World Cup opener against Switzerland.
Tite's squad, favourites for the tournament, also face Costa Rica (June 22) and Serbia (June 27) in the group stage.
