Fabinho wants to move to the Premier League and has made Manchester United his preferred destination, reports The Sun.
The Brazilian midfielder was denied the chance to leave Monaco last summer but is expected to get his wish at the end of the season.
Reports from France emerged at the end of last month suggesting the midfielder was close to agreeing personal terms with Paris Saint-Germain.
However, it is now being suggested that Fabinho would prefer to move to England and link up with Jose Mourinho at Old Trafford.
The United manager has made strengthening his midfield a top priority this summer and is expected to sign at least two players to bolster his current options.
Fabinho has been heavily linked with a move to United in recent years but the Red Devils have never firmed up their reported interest in the 24-year-old.
The Monaco No.2 made an underwhelming start to the season but that was credited to the fact he was upset at not being allowed to transfer to a new club in the summer.
Fabinho’s performances have impressed since then and he has asserted himself as the sixth highest WhoScored rated player in Ligue 1 this season (7.55).
Considering Fabinho looks destined to leave Monaco this summer and United are among his first choice destinations, it’s worth adding the versatile midfielder to your Football INDEX portfolios. His share price is only £1.44 and will naturally increase as speculation continues to intensify.
