Fred concerned about Manchester United lack of long term plan as he claims he believes in the quality of the team ahead of the Champions League clash in Madrid.
Manchester United midfielder Fred has expressed is concern about the current situation of the club.
The Brazilian in an interview with TNT Sports Brazil believes it is important to get quick result in a team but insists the club lack long term plan.
“It is a bit strange,” the midfielder told TNT Sports Brazil. “I know in football it’s important to get good results as soon as possible, but it’s also important to have a long-term plan.
“I think it’s a little bit bad for us not to have one, at the moment it’s all about the short-term goals. We don’t know how it’s going to be after the end of this season.”
Fred came in as a substitute against Leeds United in the Premier League and scored a goal in a 4-2 victory.
The Brazilian will be in contention for a place in a Rangnick starting 11 that will face Atletico Madrid in the Champions League.
Speaking ahead of the game in Madrid Fred admits that they are not in their best form but believes in the quality they have in the team.
“I know we’re not playing our best football, but we have a lot of quality names in our squad. I see many other teams playing far off from their best as well.
“[To win it] wouldn’t be crazy, it could happen, but we have to work our socks off because we’re far away from being one of the favourites in this competition.”
He added: “Every player that comes to this club wants to win titles. We want trophies but it’s been a long drought.
“With all due respect to Villarreal, it was our job to win that Europa League final and we failed. It’s about having better football planning at the club.
“If you don’t want to win titles you don’t deserve to play for Manchester United. We’re still in the Champions League but let’s see if we arrive better on next season to find our peak football.”
