Man U Loan Monaco's Key Player for January Transfer Window

Manchester United have been linked with the signing of Monaco midfielder Fabinho, according to reports in the English media.

The Portuguese international has been one of Monaco's standout performers this season and has been attracting interest from across Europe.

However, Manchester United have been tipped to make a move for him ahead of the January transfer window.

The Red Devils have struggled for depth at midfield this season, with Paul Pogba struggling for form and fitness.

Fabinho could provide a strong replacement for the Frenchman, who is out of contract at the end of the season.

The 24-year-old has made over 150 appearances for Monaco since joining them in 2017, scoring six goals and providing nine assists in all competitions.

He has also represented Portugal at various levels, including winning a gold medal at the 2016 Rio Olympics.

If Manchester United do sign Fabinho, it would be a major coup for the club, as he would bring experience and quality to their midfield.

However, there is no guarantee that Monaco will sell Fabinho, especially given his impressive performances this season.

Regardless, if Manchester United can secure a deal for the player, they could use him to help strengthen their squad ahead of the rest of the Premier League season.
