Man United midfielder Fred opened up on the inspiration he has received from watching the 2002 World Cup-winning Brazil squad. Fred, who was only nine years old at the time remembered seeing the great team play. "I remember 2002. I remember something of '98, but just a little flash; I don't remember a lot. But, in 2002, I remember I watched every game in Japan,” he said.
