Fred reveals why he snubbed Manchester City for Old Trafford transfer

Manchester United newcomer Fred who has been linked with a move to Manchester City, has revealed the main reason why he snubbed his current rival club. The former Shakhtar Donetsk man made his debut for the Red Devils last Friday, impressing in the 2-1 Premier League win over Leicester. “There were options in England and in Europe,” Fred told ESPN. “Manchester City, PSG, but I chose United. I spoke to my agent Gilberto Silva, who played for Arsenal. “He told me that United was a huge club. I spoke to my family and friends. “When I said United, I saw their faces. I'm sure that I made the right choice. I want to play in and win the Premier League, the best league in the world. “I had a proposal from China too, but I didn't want to go there because I wanted to join United.”
