Manchester United is Fabinho’s preferred move
Monaco defender Fabinho has his heart set on a move to Manchester United and to work alongside Jose Mourinho, according to a report from O Jogo, as cited by Sport Witness.
There were rumours that a deal was being discussed last summer for the 23-year-old. Bruno Andrade, a journalist from the Portuguese newspaper, sayse has spoken to Fabinho himself and believes that a deal could be done this summer.

The fee could rise to as much as £40 million for the Brazilian who can play at right back or as a defensive midfielder. The player himself has admitted he would love to play in the Premier League.
However, Fabinho has a contract that runs to 2021 with the French champions and it may take a lot of persuasion, or a lot of money, for Monaco to sell.
The player’s wife has also fuelled speculation by liking a Manchester United fans comment on social media site Instagram, which said “come to Manchester United, please.”
