Monaco star Fabinho tempted by move to Manchester United

 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.

During a live television interview, the Brazilian international smiled when asked whether he would be keen to move to Old Trafford, if the opportunity were to arise.

"It's a tempting invitation," he told Esporte Interativo. "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."

Real Sociedad bid for Manchester United's Adnan Januzaj

Manchester United have received a £9.7m bid from Real Sociedad for Adnan Januzaj, Sky sources.

The Spanish club's offer is one of a number that United are thought to be considering for the 22-year-old, who spent last season on loan at Sunderland.

Januzaj vowed to prove his doubters wrong after moving to Wearside last summer but struggled with injury, making just 18 Premier League starts, and is no longer wanted at Old Trafford.

The Belgian was handed his United debut by David Moyes, who managed Real Sociedad after being sacked, but Januzaj was sent out on loan to Borussia Dortmund by Moyes' successor Louis van Gaal.

Januzaj did not start a Bundesliga game, however, and was made available again by Jose Mourinho last summer.

The Belgium international, with six caps, signed for United from Anderlecht as a youth player in 2011.

 

Real Madrid are most likely to allow Gareth Bale to leave if the club sign Kylian Mbappe, according to L'Equipe, with Manchester United ready to make a move for the Welshman.

Real boss Zinedine Zidane and club president Florentino Perez met Mbappe last week and told him they were willing to part with Bale in order to give the 18-year-old more playing time at the Bernabeu.

Nemanja Matic has agreed personal terms to join Manchester United from Chelsea, according to the Manchester Evening News.United are waiting to agree a fee with Chelsea, who will be more tempted with a sale if they can bolster their own midfield.
