Manchester United fans turned around to celebrate Fred's assist with his son in the stands against Leicester City.
The Red Devils continued their excellent run of form with a 3-0 win over the Foxes at Old Trafford, with the deadly Marcus Rashford bagging a brace and Jadon Sancho continuing his resurgence with a strike off the bench.
United had to thank their goalkeeper David de Gea for pulling off two worldie saves in the first half, before Rashford opened the scoring with an emphatic finish from a gorgeous Bruno Fernandes assist.

The England international then notched his 24th goal of the season in the 56th minute, though this one was initially chalked off for offside before a VAR review showed he had timed his run correctly and meant the strike was awarded.
This time it was Fred who supplied the deft pass in behind for the Premier League's in-form player. And in the celebrations, the Brazilian's son, watching from his box, was absolutely loving it.
Benjamin was jumping up and down in pure joy and United fans stood in front of Fred's family immediately turned around to celebrate the special moment.

Fred's wife Monique Salum captured the heartwarming scenes and posted the video to her Instagram story.
Fred signed for United in 2018 in a £47 million switch and is now closing in on 200 appearances for the Red Devils. He's had his fair share of critics over the years but has become a useful player under Erik ten Hag, who believes he is an example to the youngsters.
"I'm at an age where you've gained experience and I obviously [want to] continue doing my best," Fred told Manchester United's official website.

"I want to play more, of course, get more minutes, though, regardless of this, in my day-to-day work, I continue to set an example, doing my work, and I hope the young players can be inspired by this to do their best as well.
"I'm really happy and honoured by the manager saying that I'm an example for the young players and everyone in the dressing room."
