Former Manchester United striker Michael Owen called Fred “pathetic” after the Brazilian received a red card in a 1: 3 loss to Paris Saint-Germain on Wednesday night.
Fred could have been kicked out earlier when he and Leandro Paredes started shaking their heads. The Argentine rushed to the ground, while the United midfielder remained standing, and referee Daniele Orsato decided to sanction only Fred, and only with a yellow card.
However, the inevitable happened and after an abrupt entry at the feet of Ander Herrera, Fred was sent off in the 70th minute, seconds after PSG took the lead with 2: 1.
Neymar had given an advance to the guests in the sixth minute, and in the added time it made up the final result, while for the ‘red devils’ Marcus Rashford was again accurate, who scored after a happy rebound.
“There were mistakes everywhere. The action against Paredes was for a red card. He’s a man, you can’t do that nonsense and put your team at risk,” Owen told Fred in the BT Sport studio.
If I were the coach and one of my players did that, he would never play for me again. It was a shame.
But we must not only blame Fred, but also Solskjaer. The coach must know how to protect both the team and the player in such situations. They are both to blame. “
“Maybe I should have taken Fred away from me, but he’s been playing really well.”
“The second is not a yellow card, Ander Herrera knows it too. Ander knows it.”

The United manager admitted that he considered taking Fred out, but said: “He played very well. At halftime we talked about staying calm, standing on his own two feet. And going in against Ander (Herrera) is not a violation at all.” “Ander knows it too. He was lucky in the first half (facing Paredes) because you just don’t have the right to do things like that.”
After the Old Trafford game, the situation in the group became even more complicated. PSG, United and RB Leipzig, who won 4: 3 as Istanbul BB’s guests in a great seven-goal show, have nine points each, and so far PSG is first and United second.
In the last round of the group stage, PSG host Istanbul BB, while RB Leipzig face the “red devils” in a direct clash to qualify for the quarterfinals.
