Just days after completing his move to Manchester United, Fred has picked up an injury in training with Brazil, as reported by the Mirror.
The midfielder was continuing preparations with Tite’s squad as they gear up for this summer’s World Cup but appears to have been dealt a blow, with an injury having been sustained.
Fred was visibly concerned over his condition during the training session and images show a strong challenge from a teammate connecting with the back of the United man’s lower leg.

The Brazilian international is set to join up with Manchester United for pre-season at a later date following his big-money move from Shakhtar Donetsk earlier on this week.
Although the diagnosis of Fred’s injury is not yet known, along with the extent of the problem, the news will come as a concern for United following their addition of the player.
