Report: Manchester United set to sign versatile star

Manchester United will sign Monaco defender Fabinho, according to Gazzetta Dell Sport and Il Messaggero journalist Emanuele Giulianelli.

However, the Italian journalist adds that United will first need to sell 2 or 3 players before completing the deal for the versatile Brazilian international.

Fabinho, who can play at right-back and in midfield, has been heavily linked with a move to Manchester United over the past few weeks.

Jose Mourinho knows the player well from their time together at Real Madrid 3 years ago, so it wouldn’t be a surprise to see the talented defender join the Red Devils this summer.

He’s one of the most consistent and reliable players in France and has done more than enough to justify a move to a bigger club.

Fabinho would be a great signing for Manchester United, especially considering their lack of quality options at right-back.

It appears as though he’s set to leave Monaco this summer and United would do well to sign him.
