Fredricson – who stands 6ft – won the FA Youth Cup with United in 2022 and has played at Under-17 and U18 level for England. But was named in United’s first-team squad this year – featuring on the bench twice this season. Fredricson has been called up to United’s senior squad before, alongside Cristiano Ronaldo in the Europa League in 2022. He has also come up with first-team stars like Kobbie Mainoo, posing together on Instagram. Other snaps show Fredricson’s personal life including exotic holidays and fine dining – with one picture revealing his love for lobsters. United needed last-gasp goals from Mainoo and Harry Maguire to see off Lyon in the Europa League quarter-final. And Amorim warned there would be changes to his side that host Wolves at Old Trafford.

Casemiro, Bruno Fernandes and Diogo Dalot also make way with Christian Eriksen and Mainoo also coming in. Amorim said: “We had to make an evaluation of all the players. It’s not just the last game, with 120 minutes, it’s a sequence behind it. “We had fewer than 72 hours to make a rotation, to try to with all the players we have in the moment and try to recover some of them that are injured. “So I can give you the example of Luke Shaw. Shaw, in my mind, was more 30 minutes with all the problems we had with Victor (Lindelof) and Nous (Noussair Mazraoui) and then extra-time, he did a very good job but a lot of minutes, so he has to feel that load, rest now and we will train for the next game. “We try to assess all the players and we choose this starting XI to win the game.” On Fredricson, he said: “He’s really composed, he’s really humble, every training he has with the first-team, he is really focused on every detail of training. “He’s really good on the ball, and it’s a good opportunity for him.”
