Historic moment, Manchester United star reaches 200 club appearances

A few seasons later, although he is not going through his best moment at a transcendental level, he can already say that he has defended the Old Trafford elastic 200 times. BeSoccer Pro detected his milestone against Brentford and, now, collects his most outstanding statistics. In terms of goals, he is not a particularly gifted footballer, but he has some interesting records such as that, despite not having signed more than two goals against any rival, he did make one of those that beat Barcelona 2-1 in the previous playoff of the Europa League.

His favorite opponents in this adventure are City, their eternal local rival, and West Ham United. The Sky Blue is the group with which the faces have been seen the most times, with 12 clashes. The hammers, although they have not been against him so many times, have suffered seven victories, more than any other squad, having him in front of them, so seeing them usually brings good times for their record.

The citizens are, on the other hand, the ones who have beaten him the most times, with six wins, but they are not far from West Ham's record of falls, with five, so that the Brazilian's balance against those at the Etihad Stadium is not at all. far from absolute equilibrium. This is especially noticeable at a time when those now coached by Erik ten Hag have been several steps below Pep Guardiola's in ambition and results.

Delving into those victories of Fred against the hammers, it is curious that the most recent was his own account, in part. He scored in the FA Cup round of 16 match that was decided in his favour. Earlier, on matchday fourteen of the current season, he was about to do so, but his shot hit the post. His current streak is six wins in a row against them. They have not defeated him since September 22, 2019.

A reference of the derbies

When it comes to his performances against City, he has never scored a goal for them, although he has started eleven times. He only came off the bench in the 6-3 loss earlier this season. He could have played 13 duels, but, in November 2018, on the twelfth domestic day, he was in the call-up and was left wanting to jump onto the field. His confrontations with those at Old Trafford have occurred in the League, but also in the 2020 and 2021 EFL Cup.
