HULL CITY owner Acun Ilicali has named ex-Manchester United star Fred as one of two players he would most like to sign.

Fred, 31, left Manchester United to join Fenerbahce in a £13million transfer last summer.

During his five-year spell at Old Trafford the midfielder made 218 appearances, scoring 14 goals and providing 18 assists.

But since leaving he has established himself as a key first team player for the Yellow Canaries.

So far this season Fred has made 26 appearances, with Fenerbahce second in the Turkish Super Lig.

But Ilicali has admitted he would love to bring the Brazilian back to England.

When asked which two Super Lig players he would most like to sign, the Hull chief told Sabah: “If I had the right to buy two footballers at the end of the season, I would close my eyes and buy Fred.

“Seri-Fred-Ozan trio would be so good that you can sit and watch it with pleasure.”

Ilicali went on to reveal that he would also sign Galatasaray goalkeeper Fernando Muslera.

He added: “Take Muslera, welcome to the Premier League.”

Ilicali took over Hull in January 2022 when the team was in near the bottom of the Championship table.

The Tigers finished 15th in the league last season but currently sit ninth, six points adrift of the Play-Off places.
