Asked which of United’s young trio had impressed him most, Fred told Brazilian website Trivela: ‘They are all great players.
‘The club has an important role in using many academy players, it has this history of using the kids that come up from the academy, who turn professional and make history at the club.
‘This process is important. They are great players, with a lot of potential for the future.
‘All are very good, they are not in this profession for nothing, but the player who impresses me most is Jimmy Garner.
‘Not just because he is in the same position as me, but because he is a player who has an impressive vision of the game, and he has a huge future for United.
‘In addition to his impressive game vision, he always plays with his head up, has an impressive shot and is an incredible passer. He is a player that I admire a lot.’
