Reports are suggesting that Fred's move to Manchester United is imminent and now the Shakhtar Donetsk midfielder might've given the game away with a 'like' on Instagram.
Fred is on Man United's wish list. Yesterday's reports said that negotiations between Jose Mourinho's side and Ukrainian outfit are now in advanced stages of negotiation. There's always dubiety around newspaper reports but the player now liking a post on Instagram which says 'Fred is a Red' should ease some Man United supporter's nerves.
Former Arsenal midfielder Gilberto Silva is Fred's advisor. He told Sky Sports' The Debate in March that player was after a o move to the Premier League.
This is what we reported yesterday.
Manchester United are closing in on a deal with Shakhtar Donetsk midfielder Fred.
The highly-rated 25-year-old is subject to discussions between Man United and Shakhtar, with the two clubs reportedly locked in advanced negotiations that could see the player make the move to Old Trafford this summer.
The Brazilian has impressed many with his time at the Ukrainian club. It has even been reported that Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola was after him - despite it looking as though Jose Mourinho was nabbed the player from under his nose.

The deal is thought to be worth around £44 million.
It's thought that Fred could be a replacement to Marouane Fellaini, with the Belgium international becoming out of favour with Mourinho.
Man United have had a tough season despite finishing runners-up in the league. Their closest rivals, Manchester City and Liverpool enjoyed great success in the 2017/18 campaign. City won the Premier League at a canter, breaking many league records along the way, finishing on 100 points, whilst Liverpool have enjoyed unprecedented success in the Champions League, and face Real Madrid in the final of the competition this weekend in Kiev.
