Manchester United have closed in on a move for AS Monaco midfielder Fabinho,

Manchester United have moved a step closer to securing the signing of Monaco star Fabinho after reports in Italy claim a fee has been agreed between the two clubs.

The Brazilian midfielder was one of the star performers for the French club last season after helping them win the Ligue 1 title and reaching the semi-finals of the Champions League.

Fabinho can operate in a number of positions including central midfield, right back and a wing-back and his versatility will appeal to the United manager after making over 50 appearances last season.

After securing the signing of Victor Lindelof from Benfica, Mourinho is keen to get his business done in the transfer market as quickly as possible and reports in Italy suggest a move for Fabinho is close to being completed.
