Manchester United midfielder Fred admits it has been a 'hard few months' but credited boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer with bringing out the best in him.
The Brazilian has struggled since he made the switch to United last summer in a £53million move from Shakhtar Donetsk.
His minutes on the pitch have fallen massively in recent months but a starring role in Wednesday's dramatic 3-1 win over Paris Saint-Germain suggests the midfielder is now ready to seize his moment in a United shirt.
'It's been a hard few months,' Fred told ESPN. 'I have not been playing. There has been a lot of things going on in my mind.
'Ole has helped me a lot. He had a lot of chats with me. [Michael Carrick] also speaks to me a lot. That brings me calm that things will turn around for me.
'They trust me and I feel that trust. And they were right to trust me because I showed tonight that I can play against one of the best teams in the world and play well.
'I'm very, very happy. My confidence is getting better.'

Players, with a choice, signing for a mid table EPL team proves thy do so for one reason only, ££££'s, had Sanchez signed for Man City when he had the option he would now have an EPL winners medal and two League Cup winners medals to show his grandchildren, instead all he has to show them apart from his gooner FA Cup medals is his bank statement. Fred on the other hand one can understand he was smitten with mancrags reputation, albeit a fast fading reputation, however he did not listen to advice and made his own bed, by now he would have played in many more games for Man City while being coached by the worlds best backroom staff, ever in English football.
