Earlier this week, Manchester United boss José Mourinho revealed that new signing Fred has been changing the music in the changing room.
“He’s a really, really good guy and he brought new music to the place because we were a bit tired of De Gea and Ashley Young’s music all the time!”, said the Portuguese boss, in an interview with the club’s official website.
Now Fred has spoken to ESPN Brasil, and has confirmed that he’s been showing his teammates some new songs.
“I got there and I already changed the music there. I played some samba, some funk, Brazilian songs. And the guys like it a lot”, Fred told João Castelo Branco from ESPN Brasil. “DJ Fred. No, sometimes they put their music on, but sometimes me and Andreas, we take over.”
Fred also talked about the controversies that have been surrounding Manchester United lately. Even though things seemed fine with the win over Leicester City, it completely changed when the Red Devils were defeated by Brighton last weekend.
But the Brazilian claims that everything is fine in the squad, as there’s no bad feelings between players or manager.
“The press likes to talk, right? But the people in the dressing room… man, it’s a great atmosphere. From what I’ve seen, since I arrived, no one has any intrigue with anyone inside the club. Inside the locker room, inside on the pitch there. On the contrary, it’s one trying to help the other.
“And it’s normal man, we lose a game, people will hit us because it’s a great team, it’s a giant here in Europe. So it’s normal, they will speak.
“But Mourinho is a great manager, he is a guy who I’m very happy to work with, and this group here too, I’m very happy to be in the group, which is a very good group, a very closed group. So we are still at the beginning, we are trying to unite even more to take this on the pitch and seek our wins.”
Fred and Manchester United now prepare to face Tottenham Hotspur for the Premier League at Old Trafford on Monday night.
