AS Monaco midfielder Fabinho is eager to move to Manchester United this summer.

The Sun says the Brazilian international is keen on a move away from the French Ligue 1 club this summer with Old Trafford understood to be his first choice.

Jose Mourinho would have to dig into the United war chest again, as the 24-year-old would command a fee around the £55 million mark.

But that would not deter the Portuguese boss, who sees Fabinho as an ideal addition in place of Marouane Fellani - who looks set to leave the club - and the retiring Michael Carrick.
