By Michael Kelleher

Monaco midfielder Fabinho has admitted he would be tempted by a move to Manchester United.

Jose Mourinho is in the market for a defensive midfielder this summer and has been linked with a move for the versatile 23-year-old, who can also play at right-back.

The United boss is familiar with Fabinho, having given him his debut for Real Madrid at the end of the 2013 season in a 6-2 victory against Malaga. The pair also share the same agent in Jorge Mendes.
