Jose Mourinho says that Fred is different from the Manchester United midfielders that he had at his disposal last season, and supported the Brazilian to have a unique impact at the club.
The 25-year-old joined Shakhtar Donetsk's club for £ 52m last month, but although he was part of the Brazil team at the World Cup, he failed to play one minute for his country in Russia.
He is expected to rejoin his new club soon before the new season, and Mourinho says he's unlike any of his team's midfielders in 2017/18.

Pereira was on loan to Valencia last season and still has to play a competitive game for United under Mourinho
