Fabinho sends message to Man United fans about ‘tempting’ transfer
The Monaco midfielder admits he is interested in a move to Manchester United in the summer transfer window
Fabinho has admitted that a move to Manchester United would be “tempting” in the summer transfer window.
The Brazil international has been regularly linked with a move to Old Trafford since Jose Mourinho took over the reins at the 20-time English champions.
Fabinho previously played under the Portuguese coach during Mourinho’s spell in charge of Real Madrid before he moved to Ligue 1 side AS Monaco in 2013.
The 23-year-old scored 14 goals in 67 appearances in the French top flight over the past two seasons to establish himself as a promising defensive midfielder.
Fabinho was linked with a switch to Old Trafford last summer but a move failed to materialise, although the Red Devils are thought to be interested in bringing the versatile midfielder to the club in the 2017 summer transfer window.
According to recent reports, the Europa League winners are thought to be interested in signing the Brazilian midfielder in a £30m deal from Ligue 1 giants AS Monaco.
Speaking to Esporte Interativo about a potential move to Manchester United, Fabinho appeared to hint at his interest in a switch to the 13-time Premier League winners.
“It’s a tempting invitation,” Fabinho said. “I would first talk to my agent, Monaco too, to decide everything right. But it’s a great club, sure enough I would think well about it.”
