Transfer report: Manchester United leading chase for Monaco star Fabinho

Manchester United remain the frontrunners to land long-term target Fabinho, according to reports in his native Brazil.

United boss Jose Mourinho is a big fan of the 24-year-old Monaco star, who can play at right-back and central midfield, and has been regularly linked with him over the past 18 months.

As talkSPORT told you last month, it was even suggested that United were plotting a big-money swoop for Fabinho before the window shut.

However he stayed put at Monaco for the time being, although a summer departure is on the cards after he revealed he is open to a new challenge.
