Fabrizio Romano has confirmed that Fred will leave Manchester United this summer, revealing where his next destination may be.
The recent arrival of Mason Mount from Chelsea has cast major doubt over Fred's future at the club, with United planning for at least one midfielder to leave this summer.
In turn, the 30-year-old has been rumoured with a move away from Old Trafford amid interest from Fulham and Galatasaray.

The Turkish Super Lig side reportedly made a bid for the Brazilian earlier this month, but United rejected the offer as it was 'below their expectations', according to Romano, who added that Fulham are also "working" on making a deal happen.
Fred was seen chatting to Cottagers boss Marco Silva after their clash at Old Trafford last season, adding fuel to speculation that he could move to Craven Cottage this summer.
But despite initially failing to sign Fred, it is Galatasaray who remain keen to sign him.

Providing an update on Thursday, transfer expert Romano tweeted: "Galatasaray remain keen on signing Fred as priority target, as revealed two weeks ago.
"Fred will leave Man United this summer."
After the FA Cup final last month, Fred conceded he could have played his final game for the club. "I still don't know," he said regarding his future. "I have to talk with my family."
He added: "I still have one year left on my contract here. Now it's holiday time and a good opportunity to rest. I'll talk to my staff, to the club, and see what everyone's decision is.

"I do have to talk with [Erik] ten Hag as well; he's the manager and the conversation has to involve everyone. We have to see how next season will play out.
"I want to be important; I want to help the team, so we'll see. But I've always been and still am very happy at Manchester United."
Fred, who joined the ranks at Old Trafford from Shakhtar Donetsk in 2018 for £47 million, has also changed agents ahead of a possible move away this summer.
