Fred the Red is a cheeky dragon that is instantly recognisable as the mascot for Man United Football Club, he is often seen out and about drumming up support from the fans just before a big match.
Fred has a devilish look about him, with black horns and a pointed tail; he is covered in plush red fur with a sprayed ABS face. He has a cheeky grin, black nose and freckles on his snout. Fred is always seen in the latest Man United football kit, which usually consists of black red and white colours with the Man United crest on the shorts and top left corner of the shirt. He wears matching socks and black vinyl boots with white laces.
