Former Shakhtar Donetsk midfielder Fred, who currently plays for Manchester United, may be making a club registration change this summer. There are reports that Fred could join Roma, where Jose Mourinho has shown personal interest in him. Mourinho, who previously worked with Fred during his time at Manchester United, wants the Brazilian midfielder to be a part of the Roma team. This move could provide Fred with more game time, which could be limited at Manchester United due to the potential transfer of Mason Greenwood. Fred’s contract with Manchester United is valid until June 2024.
