The Brazilian sat freely by the side of the road, playing a drum to salsa music, and Fred couldn’t contain his eagerness for a taste of home.

Monique Salum, the Manchester United midfielder’s wife, shared a video of him getting ridiculous while enjoying the April sunshine.

Monique, a chemical engineer, may have noticed a shift in the atmosphere as Fred assumed the Road Devil character, showing a new side to his personality.

The 30-year-old was delighted to beat away on an atabaque, a massive Afro-Brazilian hand drum, while a tablet played music on top of his car.

Fred didn’t look to be preparing for a big tie on Thursday night, occasionally raising his arms above his head.

United travels to Seville deadlocked 2-2 for the second leg of the Europa League quarterfinal.

Monique can be heard in Portuguese inviting her 303,000 Instagram followers to watch her husband’s musical performance.

And when he saw her, he turned around with excitement.

Due to Bruno Fernandes’ suspension, Fred will seek a midweek start.

He appeared solely as a substitute in Sunday’s 2-0 win over Nottingham Forest.

Scott McTominay and Marcel Sabitzer, both midfielders, are injured.

Marcus Rashford has an outside chance of recovering in time to play up front.

However, injured center-backs Lindro Martinez and Raphael Varane will be unable to play.
