Deal Close – How Man United will Line up with $32.8million Star

Manchester United conceded 4 goals against Borussia Dortmund in their opening game of the International Champions Cup and Mourinho must improve the quality of his defense.
The Red Devils have already signed one defender this summer in the form of Ivorian center half Eric Bailly (Villareal). Now, reports suggest that United are looking to sign Brazilian star Fabinho from Monaco.
The Sun cite reports in the Italian media claiming that United are closing in on a 25 million pounds ($32.8 million) deal to hire the services of the Samba star.
Fabinho is a versatile defender who is naturally a right back but can effectively play as a defensive midfielder as well. Last season, he played 29 games as a right back and 18 games as a defensive midfielder (Transfermarkt).
Overall, the 22-year-old defender featured in 47 games for Monaco last season, scored 8 goals and also provided 5 assists.
Manchester United have players like Schneiderlin, Blind and Carrick who can play in the holding midfield position. Therefore, United will mainly use Fabinho as a fullback. Here is how Man United will line up with Fabinho.
