Monaco midfielder Fabinho forcing through Man Utd move

Monaco midfielder Fabinho will try to force through a move to Manchester United this summer, according to The Sun.

A move away from the Ligue 1 giants has been mooted for quite some time for the Brazilian. However, the club decided to hang on to the ex-Real Madrid man last summer after they lost Tiemoue Bakayoko, Benjamin Mendy, Kylian Mbappe and Bernardo Silva.

But now, Fabinho could finally get his wish, with the report claiming Monaco have made him available for £55million.

United manager Jose Mourinho has penciled in a midfielder as one of his top priorities this summer. Fabinho, as well as Nice's Jean Michael-Seri and Shakhtar Donetsk's Fred, are other likely options.

24-year-old Fabinho could be favoured over the other contenders due to his ability to also play at right-back.
