Manchester United are reportedly closing in on a deal to sign Fabinho from Ligue 1 side AS Monaco. The Red Devils have been interested on the player for some time now and seems like the £25m rated player may be the Red Devils fourth signing of the summer.

United had excellent defensive record last season and the Red Devils new boss Jose Mourinho has signed Eric Bailly so as to bolster the back line, although the quality at the Old Trafford needs to improve for the next season and Fabinho may be the right player to bring that quality at the United.

The versatile player can play as a right-back as well as a defensive midfielder and may end up replacing Matteo Darmian if he does head to United this summer. The Brazilian had an excellent season last having 8 goals and 5 assists to his credit in 47 appearances for AS.
