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.
