Fred, 30, joined United from Shakhtar Donetsk in 2018 and made 213 appearances for the club, scoring 14 goals.

He was a regular in the first team under Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, but fell out of favor under Ralf Rangnick and new manager Erik ten Hag.

The Turkish club are looking to strengthen their squad ahead of the new season and Fred’s arrival will be a major coup. He will add energy and creativity to the midfield, and he will be a key player for Fenerbahce in their quest to win trophies.

The deal is expected to be finalized in the coming days, he will undergo a medical today. He will then sign a contract with Fenerbahce and be unveiled in a signing ceremony.
