first, you misunderstood the red error message's directions second, you shouldn't run flatpaks with sudo third, you disregarded the error as to why you couldn't run that app 
$ flatpak run org. freedownloadmanager.Manager /app/extra/opt/freedownloadmanager/fdm: error while loading shared libraries: libgssapi_krb5.so.2: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
$ flatpak run org. freedownloadmanager.Manager /app/extra/opt/freedownloadmanager/fdm: error while loading shared libraries: libgssapi_krb5.so.2: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
this one tells you why you cannot run the app. you are missing libgssapi_krb5.so.2 as a dependency on your system 
$ sudo flatpak run org. freedownloadmanager. Manager error: "flatpak run" is not intended to be run as sudo flatpak run. Use sudo -i or su -l instead and invoke "flatpak run" from inside the new shell.
$ sudo flatpak run org. freedownloadmanager. Manager error: "flatpak run" is not intended to be run as sudo flatpak run. Use sudo -i or su -l instead and invoke "flatpak run" from inside the new shell.
this one tells you what you have to do, but you didn't understand what it was telling you to do when it says "use sudo -i" that means run that command on its own even with that in mind, it repeats the same libgssapi_krb5.so.2 dependency error from above when you attempted to run it again you do not need to be invoking sudo to use flatpak commands
