Watch Fred Score Against Barcelona With His Weaker Foot/Shin

Manchester United midfielder Fred scored his fifth goal of the season during Thursday's UEFA Europa League win over Barcelona.

After a 2-2 draw in Spain in last week's first leg, Barca took an early lead at Old Trafford when Robert Lewandowski converted an 18th-minute penalty.

But United hit back early in the second half when Bruno Fernandes teed up Fred.

The left-footed Brazilian's first touch was superb but his shot was less clean as it was struck using his right shin.

Nevertheless, the ball flew sweetly past Barca keeper Marc-Andre ter Stegen.

Antony, another Brazilian, then completed the turnaround by producing a brilliant first-time finish in the 73rd minute.

United won 4-3 on aggregate to book their place in Friday's draw for the Europa League last 16.
