MANCHESTER UNITED fans are in dreamland after 'McFred' put them 1-0 up against Aston Villa in their FA Cup clash.
Brazil midfielder Fred hooked the ball into the box on seven minutes and Scott McTominay was there to head past Emiliano Martinez in the Villa goal.
It was the perfect reaction following a dismal 1-0 home defeat to Wolves in the Premier League.
And United fans were quick to praise the central midfield duo on social media – using their special combined nickname.
Johnny Spencer posted on Twitter: "Love a good McFred goal."
Another supporter wrote that they 'always believed in McFred', while one added that they 'can't explain how much I love McFred'.
Janice Crossfield was delighted that the "Lancaster lad strikes again', while another Red Devils fan wrote: "The audacity of Fred to try that'.
It was a nervy start from United who would have been relieved that their midfield duo got them ahead.
