    Though they have been dating for a very long time, they are just two years old together as husband and wife. Yet, their love affairs have remained a delight to so many due to how the football star has been able to keep it scandal-free.

    How Benjamin has been a blessing to Fred

    The birth of Benjamin in July 2019 has not only made Fred’s marriage happier and stronger but has also made him a livelier football star. For instance, when Fred played his last season at Ukrainian club Shakhtar Donetsk during the 2017-2018 season, he was used only 37 times in all competitions. On the other hand, when he decided to move to the Premier League club, Manchester United in 2018, he struggled in his first season (2018-2019) as he managed to play only 25 games in all competitions scoring just a goal and made only one assist. He experienced this drought before he became a father.

    However, the birth of Benjamin brought a new life to his career as he is now having more opportunities to play for a more compact and competitive team like Manchester United under coach Ole Gunnar Solskjaer. Since the birth of Benjamin in July 2019 and as of August 10, 2020, Fred has played 46 games for United which is his highest number of appearances for a club within a football season.

    Fred has even been more impactful for United in their Europa League campaign so far this season. Just in 7 Europa League matches, the Brazilian international has scored 2 goals and made 4 assists which were helpful enough to push the club into the quarter-final stage of the continental football competition.
