UCL: He was outstanding - Arsene Wenger singles out Man Utd star after win over Atalanta

Former Arsenal manager, Arsene Wenger has singled out Manchester United midfielder, Fred, following the Red Devils' Champions League 3-2 win against Atalanta on Wednesday night.

Fred had come under criticism from Man United fans recently because of his performances for Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's side so far this season, particularly struggling without regular partner Scott McTominay in midfield.

But Wenger believes Fred was outstanding for Man United against Atalanta at Old Trafford.

According to him, the Brazilian international worked unbelievably hard in the second half during the encounter.

Man United defeated the Serie A side at home, thanks to three goals from Marcus Rashford, Harry Maguire and Cristiano Ronaldo.

"I would personally highlight the second half of Fred," Wenger told beIN sports.

"Fred saved a few crosses in the box. Defensively he was outstanding and he worked unbelievably hard in the second half."
