Yes indeed. We needed another goal outlet.
We need a striker.... 70m on Lukaku isnt a better option
Someone said Fabinho is a united fan, is this true? Nainngolan wont leave Roma, so forget about that. Chelsea have tried already and London is probably more appealing to him
Yup from what I've seen (limited amount may I add) he looks a proper player.
Though the Caf did tell me that Darmian was a marauding attacking fullback
You make that all sound very easy, I'm in!
Fabinho would be the second best transfer we can possibly achieve in the summer (after Griezmann), i really hope this is true
He was, until he was robbed of all confidence by Mourinho. He was Italians player of the year for a reason.Though the Caf did tell me that Darmian was a marauding attacking fullback
I'd love Fabinho to come in to our midfield, I reckon he'd be a good fit alongside Herrera and Pogba.
Carrick, Pereira and another new signing as back-ups (Fellaini sold), would be an ideal 6 options.

It's certainly a much safer investment though.
Did evil Mourinho make him shite at attacking under LvG last season too? His tentacles really do stretch far and wide.
Who would be your pick for United if we could only take 1 player from Monaco?
I know you're a Monaco fan as well, so please don't say nobody
He started off really well for the first few games, looked the real deal. Then he had one not so good game, got critizised a little bit, and spiraled down. This season under Mourinho he is looking crestfallen all season. You have to be sensitive with those Italians. Point is, he really was a marauding full back before. So "the people in the Caf" were right.
And what has "the best source available" actually said?
We bid €85m for Mbappe, the bid was the turned down, Monaco want €140m and the player wants Real Madrid (so nothing happening there). We made an initial enquiry months ago for Nainggolan but have not followed up and the player doesn't want to leave anyway (so nothing happening there). Fabinho and Kroos are alternatives (which doesn't even make sense as they are different types of midfielders).
Not exactly exciting stuff.
Also, Di Marzio is nothing like "the best source available" for non-Italian-based players.
Love this. Another Herrera in the making; if we can get 2 or 3 more players who really love this club, be sure our next step is the CL trophy!
Fabinho is a great player, he works and is calm, would love him here.
The muppetry has started!
Mbappe and Fabinho in one report!

Jeez calm down dude, I said it in jest, hence the smiley I added. He's clearly been terrible at attacking for 90% of United career.

I see Seri as an alternative to Fabinho and he allegedly have a 40m€ agreement with Nice but he is more attacking. So depending on our tactic I would go after Lemar or Bernardo Silva.
This was your post:
That was in a thread about Fabinho being top of our list, immediately after a post about Fabinho being top of our list.
Not sure what I've misread to be honest? Unless you're suggesting Fabinho isn't a holding midfielder and your post was entirely about Nainggolan?
If so, you definitely could have been clearer.
I'd tend to agree. Wasn't totally convinced about Lukaku, but seeing how much physical strength we've been lacking in the team without Pogba and Zlatan playing, I think someone like him would be ideal now.
Firm offers for players isn't exciting stuff? Yeah, alright.

For one player, which was rejected and the player wants a different club. What a time to be alive!
Fabinho is my muppet transfer this summer, we need a guy like him and I think he will be perfect with Pogba and Herrera.
Exactly this.
I must have missed the bit where Fabinho said he wants a different club. Could you quote for me please?
Its so laughable that people imagine Kante is not a defensive may midfielder. I wonder where this notion that DMs are restricted, indistinguished users of a ball comes from.
Awesome and really exciting shopping list we seem to have.
Until reality sets in and its being reported that we have made no approach to Monaco for Mbappe. My worry is that having seen the amount of followers Di Marzio and his crew got last year from United fans regarding Pogba that they would say that United are after another top target e.g. Mbappe to get more followers/coverage/hits even if theres little to no truth in it.
Nainggolon is out of the blue, one of those players that you don't tend to assume will leave their present club so no point getting excited about much like Kroos.

People are confusing DMs for holders. We specifically need a holder more than we need an overall DM. Defensive midfielders could be box-to-box (Schneiderlin/Kante) or holders (Carvalho/Fernando/Danilo Pereira).
To me, for what we need, the positional discipline and anchoring ability of the holder is more important than the player's function; whether it's strictly tackling (Casemiro) or strictly passing (Alonso).
Fabinho would be ideal for what we need.
I thought Fabinho is a fullback.
Originally, was moved to CM this season and has been immense
Fabinho is more of the controller type like Busquets or Carrick. In the EPL currently its probably only Romeu who is the young version of that type of midfielder.
Yeah, which is why I think he's perfect for us. He has brilliant positional discipline, very good passing and high tackling abilities, I can't think of a more suitable and well-rounded player (within this role) for our current midfield.
Who is?
Hopefully it ends up like Mkhitaryan or Zlatan finalised before pre season begins
Mbappe is the player we bid for. Fabinho is apparently a midfield target along with Kroos.
Yeah I get that. But this thread is chiefly about Fabinho and if you are to beleive some of the article then the rest should be beleived too.
Fabinho is on another level. It would certainly be a smart target and would fit so well alongside Herrera and Pogba.
