Manchester United are planning a January move for AS Monaco fullback Fabinho.

The Manchester Evening News says United have identified Brazilian right-back Fabinho as a target for the January transfer window.

The Red Devils will renew their interest in the defender after failing to land him over the summer.

His current club Monaco rebuffed tentative attempts from United to lure the 22-year-old to Old Trafford, with their qualification for the Champions League strengthening their hand.

Fabinho worked under current United boss Jose Mourinho at Real Madrid.
