Fred the ex-Red: Former Man United problem nets hat-trick as Mourinho's Fenerbahce rout Rizespor

Former Manchester United midfielder Fred has made headlines in Turkey, netting a spectacular hat-trick to lead Fenerbahce to a resounding 5-0 victory over Rizespor in the Super Lig. 

The match marked Jose Mourinho's first win of the season with his new club, Fenerbahce following his rockstar appointment and welcome in the summer.

The Brazilian midfielder, often criticised during his time at Old Trafford, silenced his doubters with a masterful performance. 

Fred opened the scoring in the 15th minute and then added two more goals in quick succession in the second half, finding the net in the 60th and 64th minutes.

Mourinho's side dominated the match from start to finish, extending their impressive run against Rizespor to 11 consecutive victories. 

The win was particularly sweet for the Portuguese manager, who has been looking to revitalise his career in the Turkish Super Lig.

Complementing Fred's hat-trick, veteran striker Edin Dzeko and Khusniddin Alikulov also got on the scoresheet, contributing to the 5-0 rout.

For Nigeria Super Eagles new boy Ibrahim Olawoyin and his Rizespor teammates, it was a night to forget. The team struggled to contain Fenerbahce's attacking prowess and couldn't muster any meaningful resistance.

This performance from Fred will undoubtedly boost his confidence and potentially change perceptions about his abilities. 

Often labelled a "problem" during his time at Manchester United, the Brazilian has shown that in the right system and under the right management, he can be a game-changing player.
