FRED couldn’t kerb his enthusiasm for a touch of life back home as the Brazilian sat carefree on the roadside playing a drum to a salsa beat.
The Manchester United midfielder’s wife Monique Salum shared a clip of his antics as he revelled in a glimpse of April sun.
Monique, a chemical engineer, might have spotted something in the air as Fred showed another side of his character by becoming a Road Devil.
With a tablet blaring out music on top of his car, the 30-year-old was happy to pound away on an atabaque – a tall Afro-Brazilian hand drum.
Sometimes gleefully stretching his arms above his head, Fred didn’t look like a man preparing for a huge tie on Thursday night.
United go to Sevilla level at 2-2 for the Europa League quarter-final second leg.
Monique can be heard encouraging her 303,000 Instagram followers in Portuguese to take a look at her husband’s musical performance.
And he looked round happily when he spotted her.
Bruno Fernandes’s suspension means Fred will be hoping to start in midweek.
He only came off the bench in Sunday’s 2-0 win at Nottingham Forest.
Fellow midfielders Scott McTominay and Marcel Sabitzer are injury doubts.
Marcus Rashford is rated an outside bet to recover in time to play up front.
But crocked centre-backs Lisandro Martinez and Raphael Varane miss out.
