Frederickson: Manchester United s first team players are very high and are working hard to reach their level

According to the official website of Manchester United, two young players of Manchester United, Frederickson and Armas, recently accepted an interview with Manchester United's official website.

Two young Manchester United talents, Frederickson and Armas, are looking forward to further development after a breakthrough year at Old Trafford. The two youth training defenders gained unparalleled experience in the 2024-25 season, not only completing their senior team debut, but also spending a lot of time with Amorin's first team, who are likely to play in the Premier League match against Chelsea on Friday night. Their morale has been high after receiving individual awards this week. Frederickson won the Reserve Team Player of the Year Award, while Armas was named Young Player of the Year.

Frederickson said his experience in the academy camp and his experience playing against the younger team at Old Trafford have prepared him for this important opportunity.

Speaking about this, Frederickson said: "I think that's what the club does, they try to give us this experience and give us a good start, which gives you a great feeling of a big game, having the audience and playing at Old Trafford, which helped me a lot. Yes, it gives you a little confidence and comfort, before you get on the big stage. I think the head coach has confidence in me and let me play. So I think it's based on what he's seeing, and that's what I usually do. So I think the most important thing is to get into the court, be yourself, play like usual. Hope it goes well."

Armas was a great left-wing guard position and had an unforgettable experience in the dramatic reversal of the UEFA Cup against Lyon, which eventually helped the team advance to the final against Tottenham on Wednesday. “Yes, these memories will be with me for the rest of my life,” he explained. "It was an incredible experience. It was a wonderful memory. Obviously, when that last goal was scored, everyone was excited. Then it was to focus on possessing the ball and make sure we won the game. Once we won, we could enjoy it."

The young player said he did a great job of understanding Amorin's tactical instructions. In response, Armas said: "I think it's just because of the long training and your personality. I think accepting information is something I'm good at, and I like to do it. I like to learn and listen to other people's ideas and work hard to improve my game."

In addition, central defender Frederickson is eager to get more first-team opportunities and hopes to end the season in a high-profile manner. Speaking about this, he said: "These players have reached such a high level, so I think you have to be willing to learn every day because we are working to get to their level. Hopefully we can be as good as them, which is great. It's a great experience and I've enjoyed it all so much and hopefully I get more opportunities."
