MANCHESTER UNITED fans were left gobsmacked by Fred's reaction to his Fenerbahce team-mate having an object thrown at him.

Anderson Talisca was pelted by a bottle in the first half of Fenerbahce's trip to Alanyaspor after doubling the Super Lig side's lead.

The bottle leaked upon hitting the back of the Brazilian's neck.

Talisca, who joined the club during the January transfer window, immediately went down after being struck by the missile.

And Fred, bizarrely, goaded the riled-up Alanyaspor fans by waving his arms up and down before beating his chest.

Footage of his weird reaction to his countryman being struck down spread like wildfire on social media and quickly came to the attention of Red Devils fans.
