Manchester United are reportedly considering an offer for Brazil international midfielder Fabinho, according to Don Balon.

The Premier League side, who host Stoke City at Old Trafford tonight (20:00), have been linked once again with the AS Monaco star following last summer’s speculation.

The 24-year-old, who has four international caps for his country, has scored four goals and provided two assists in 27 appearances in all competitions for the defending Ligue 1 champions.

Fabinho, who originally joined Monaco on loan from Rio Ave back in July 2013, before making the agreement permanent in May 2015 following a second consecutive season-long loan, has netted 27 times in 214 games overall for the French outfit.

Despite being tipped for a move to the Premier League before the start of the 2017-18 campaign, the report suggests Red Devils manager Jose Mourinho is still keen on bringing the Samba star to Old Trafford.

Fabinho is valued at £22.5m by transfermarkt.
