  • Manchester United star Fred has been linked with a possible Old Trafford exit this summer
  • London-based side Fulham are believed to be leading the hunt for the Brazilian midfielder
  • The 30-year-old is understood to be in London after he shared his pin location on Instagram on Tuesday evening

Manchester United midfielder Fred has dropped the biggest hint yet on leaving the club this summer with a cryptic social media post.

The Brazilian midfielder has been a mainstay figure in the United squad since his arrival from Shakhtar Donetsk back in 2018, making over 200 appearances in the famous red shirt.

However, he has been in and out of the squad during the just concluded season under Erik ten Hag, with the signing of Casemiro and Christian Eriksen complicating his place in the squad.

According to The Mirror, the 30-year-old made 55 appearances in all competitions for United last season, starting only 22 of those matches.

The publication reports that the imminent signing of Mason Mount from Chelsea is expected to see Fred drop further down in the pecking order.

Fred hints at Old Trafford exit

The former Shakhtar Donetsk midfielder has since hinted at quitting Old Trafford this summer with a cryptic social media post.

The Sun reports the Red Devils star shared a picture from London to his Instagram story on Tuesday evening but did not add any additional context.

The Brazilian's location was a huge suspect as he has already been linked with a move to London side Fulham.

United are believed to want a fee of £20million for clubs interested in the 30-year-old this summer.

Video of Mount’s copying CR7

Earlier, Sports Brief reported Sports Brief also reported on Mason Mount’s video as a child where he was mimicking Cristiano Ronaldo.

Ronaldo is arguably football’s biggest influencer with his lifestyle, fashion and goal celebration, a global phenomenon copied by colleagues and football lovers worldwide.

Mount is not left out of being a Ronaldo fanboy and spoke about how he modelled his freekick technique after the Portuguese, from his days at Cobham Academy.
