Due to a personal matter, FRED will miss the beginning of Manchester United’s preseason trip to the United States.
After replacing another player at halftime in United’s 1-0 victory over Lyon at Murrayfield Stadium in Edinburgh, the 30-year-old played for 45 minutes.
Although Fred would be staying behind for the time being, Erik ten Hag’s team has already left for the United States, according to a club statement.
Fred is one player that didn’t make the flight, according to United.
The Brazilian has remained in the UK to address a personal matter, but he is soon anticipated to join the rest of the team, according to the report.
Tyrell Malacia and Rhys Bennett were also injured and were unable to travel, joining Fred, who has been linked with a summer transfer away from Manchester United.
The US team includes well-known athletes who have been given extra time off, such as Bruno Fernandes, Casemiro, and Marcus Rashford, who recently extended his contract through 2028.
The Red Devils’ key players were beaming as they took out for America, where they will begin their tour on Saturday against Arsenal in New Jersey.
The Gunners have already traveled across the Atlantic and defeated MLS All-Stars 5-0 thanks to a commanding performance.
Several United players were seen posing for pictures with supporters following the flight, including Antony, Christian Eriksen, and Fernandes, who is anticipated to be elected captain after Harry Maguire lost the position.
After passing his Old Trafford medical, goalkeeper from Cameroon Andre Onana is soon to join United’s roster.
Prior to his transfer from Inter Milan for £47 million, personal terms had been agreed upon.
While surprisҽ addition Jonny Evans has not traveled with the main group, newcomer Mason Mount has.
Evans has instead traveled to San Diego in advance of United’s game against Wrexham, where Ten Hag is anticipated to play an academy team.
After their match against the Wrexham team owned by Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenny, they will play Real Madrid and Borussia Dortmund in Houston and Las Vegas, respectively.
On August 5 and 6, United will play back-to-back games against Lens and Athletic Bilbao to close out the preseason.
