To celebrate the release of Fred’s UTD Podcast, we have pulled together a very special competition that you do not want to miss.
The smiling Brazilian from Belo Horizonte recently sat down at Carrington with co-hosts Helen Evans and Sam Homewood to conduct his first feature-length interview in English.
Our latest podcast was released in full via the United App, ManUtd.com and MUTV on Tuesday, and it will be available via all major podcast platforms from 17:00 BST on Wednesday.
After our recording, Fred happily signed three shirts – home, away and third – that we have bundled into one amazing competition prize.

During his extended chat, the ever-smiling Brazilian spoke about the importance of his connection with the United fans and the endearing nickname our supporters have given him: 'Pastor Fred.'
”This connection is good with our fans. So, it’s important, and every time you see me smiling with the fans, with everyone, it’s so good.“
“I think we need to be happy every day,”he began. “So the fans look at me, I always [make sure] to smile. I always go to sign, go to take a picture with the fans.

Fred doesn't take his position as a professional footballer for granted, and makes it clear throughout the podcast how lucky he feels to do what he loves for a living.
“We are blessed to be here,”
he added. “I have a good job, [playing for] the best team of the world. I have a beautiful family, so I’m so blessed and I’m happy.”
It’s the midfielder's positive outlook and strong connection to his faith that have earned him the nickname, ‘Pastor Fred,' and this is something that our no.17 enjoys.
“I am blessed, and people [give me] this nickname and I love it.”
“I love the nickname ‘Pastor Fred’ because my social media is always, I always post something of the God, something blessed,”he continued.
