Fred’s ability to manage all factors influencing performance has been key to finally finding a way at Manchester United.
That’s according to his personal trainer Tulio Horta, who says he has helped improve the Brazilian’s physical conditioning, sleep quality, nutrition, hydration and mentality.
José Mourinho cut £ 52m at Fred in 2018, and great things were expected from the midfielder who had impressed in Shakhtar Donetsk.

But Fred has established himself as a mainstay on the United team this season, and is one of the first names on Solskjaer’s team sheet.
Analyzing the areas in which Fred has improved, Horta told the MEN: “I can say that the merit is entirely yours. You have spent a lot of time getting where you are today.
“We know that performance is not easily achieved, commitment, effort and self-responsibility are necessary and Fred did all of these factors very well together with the club, which does an excellent job with all the players.”
“My contribution to Fred is to help him manage all the factors that influence performance: physical conditioning, sleep quality, nutrition, hydration and mentality.”

“These are independent actions, but they are related and have a high correlation with sports performance. Any athlete needs to have a balance in these areas in order to maintain good performance levels.”
“We monitor your quality and quantity of sleep, body weight, muscle level and mental fatigue every day. We do training sessions to improve the quality of your movement and energy use during training and games.”
