Former Shakhtar Donetsk manager Mircea Lucescu has revealed that Fred has decided to sign for Manchester City over Manchester United.

The Brazilian midfielder had been linked with both Manchester clubs in January, but his old boss has lifted the lid on where the 24-year-old will be going come the summer.

“Shakhtar Donetsk’s best player is Fred in the centre of midfield,” Lucescu is reported as saying by The Mirror.

“He was a bit anarchic on the left. I moved him in front of the defence.

“He will go to City like Fernandinho before him.”

Fernandinho joined the Etihad outfit in 2013 and has played over 100 Premier League games for the club.

Fred however, is seen as his long-term successor and is set to sign for Pep Guardiola’s men in a deal worth €50m.
