Manchester United midfielder, Fred has come out to say that he hopes he has silenced his critics in the EPL. He recently revealed that he really found it hard to cope when he was branded a flop after few performances for the club.
According to him, there were several things he could not do when he first joined MUFC, but he kept on working on improving those aspects of his game to shut critics up.
Fred added that he simply converted the criticism he received in the past into motivation for a better present and future at Old Trafford.
His words, “The first season was very difficult, I think many players suffer from it.
“I suffered a lot with my first season, even for the amount they paid. You come with a high expectation, it turns out that if you don’t play all the games well, you will be criticised.
“I suffered a lot of criticism from the press and the fans, but I always kept motivating myself, working. I never dropped the shuttlecock.
“I was even treated as a ‘flop’, a contract that doesn’t pay. But I kept working my best.
“In the second season I started without playing, I stayed a few games away and then I managed to get the starting place.
“And then I came in a good sequence, I managed to win over the fans, the coach, the press, who speaks well. It is the result of hard work, it is not overnight.”
