Starting out in Brazil, he eventually moved to Premier League team Manchester United in 2018 for a reported £47 million fee. In his fourth season at Old Trafford, Fred has so far appeared in over a 100 league games. Having represented the youth team, he has also competed for the Brazilian national side 25 times.

Fred helped Brazil reach the final of the 2021 Copa America and participated in the final, being replaced just after half-time after picking up a yellow card early in the game.
