My thoughts exactly, Faqbinho would be a very shrewd buy.
There's a difference between giving a youngster a chance and relying over him over the course of a whole season. We have no other proper DM, to play him excessively will not only increase the chance for injuries, burn him out but also be risky due to the fact that he's still young with little to no experience in the role, he's going to make mistakes. He shoud play a few games here and there imo and I'm one of his biggest fans, think he can be one of the best destroyers in the game.
Just scored a penalty against Villarreal.
Is he still coming? Doesn't seem likely at this point. If Fellaini is staying and Valencia continues to play well, not sure there's a huge need.
Did Fabinho play as a RB or DM against Villareal?
Played in midfield.
Monaco apparently has an interest in Rojo 
Can't see Monaco selling this summer if they get through to the cl proper
If they don't then possibly a late deal like martial

Not playing today... perhaps something is being negotiated
Half of the team has been rested.
For the cl qualifier?
Yeah and some good players played their first minutes. It was needed.
This. Seems the likeliest scenario that if anything happens it will happen at that point.
Can we get Tiemoue Bakayoko instead? I prefer his name, it's cooler.
Been enough noise around this one, think it may have some legs.
Probably depends on Jones and Darmian leaving though. Then our only backup for RB will be TFM.

So if we cooled our interest due to the transfer fee asked, but the deal is expected to go through after the Monaco's game against Valencia, I'd presume that means Monaco would be willing to lower their demands.
Bet this guy will end up joining Stoke or west brom from Monaco in a couple of years
From Reddit, his wife (Rebecas Taveres) apparently just started following United on Instagram.
In the past, players' wives starting to follow us on instagram has been one of the best sources

Don't really see the point in signing him.
yes please, if his wife started following United, that is as good as done dealio
Fabinho as our starting RB, Darmian as backup, TFM as backup for Fellaini's position, yes please.
The fact he's so tall would go with the idea of Mourinho building a physical team here too. I'd be excited to see this happen, it would round off an already great window nicely.

I've never actually seen any reliable news on this guy to United. Yet I've seen him in multiple prospective line ups all summer. What is actually going on?
And then started following Prada, she's already planning on how to spend his pay rise.

To the people saying you want him, have any of you actually seen him play 1 game?
I think Di Marzio and Bouhafsi/French outlets linked us to him in the last few weeks/months. Not much from the English media though, which doesnt mean much.
Difficult to picture where he'd be in our team if we were to sign him. Valencia is on fire and we still have Darmian and TFM as backups.
There's a possibility of midfield to partner Pogba but even then there's so much competition there already in Fellaini, Herrera, Schneiderlin and Carrick. None of these guys have even been linked with an exit either, so there's no real point until we get rid of someone. Maybe a signing for next season.

If we bring him in I see him more as a DM this season than an RB which makes me think it's very possible Schneiderlin leaves as he's barely had a look under Mourinho.
None of our players need to be linked with a move anywhere. If they leave it will all happen quickly. We could easily see a few leave on deadline day.
Fabinho has been mostly playing as a CDM for Monaco, so he's versatile in that he can play there along as a RB. The problem is imo, he's not exactly much better than Darmian. He's considerably taller (which Mourinho seems to think is very important) and is technically better, but he's slower and imo more suspect defensively. In other words, he sounds like more of a stereotypical LVG type of fullback (eventhough he liked them overlapping in reality).
There's no way I can see "a few" midfielders leaving.
Fellaini's been assured that he's 100% not leaving and has been in good form. Carrick's just signed a year extension. Herrera has been talking with Mourinho about a deeper role within the team. Bastian is apparently staying (though I suspect he'll be gone in January...) That only leaves Schneiderlin really, but I'm sure he'll get opportunities in September. Just can't see us buying him to play as a DM under these circumstances.
Do not want. Valencia is doing as well as any rightback in world football atm and we have two backups in that position as it stands. Not sure I want a 30 million player come in because he is versatile and can 'stand in' as a DM.
Would feel like a ravaged anus if he comes in.

Quality player who is be happy to see joining us. I know Valencia has had a few good games, but I can't help thinking that he's just having a good run and will be back to being a decent winger who can do a job in the RB position fairly soon. Hopefully I'm wrong.
Shouldn't the Schneid get a look-in at some point as a counterpoint to Pogba though? Felli has improved under Jose...maybe Morgan would too?
I see this as a signing next year instead of now as Tony's eventual successor or midfield cover after Carrick is phased out.
Would be very happy with this.
Valencia is currently playing well, but over the course of a season I still see him as a weak spot in the team. When his confidence is knocked, he's awful.
I haven't seen much of Fabinho, but it's a player Mourinho has worked with before and clearly trusts, so I'm happy to go along with that

I don't see the pressing need to sign him. Valencia has performed very well and there still is Darmian to cover him, who is more than good enough as a backup.
Obviously like the Fonte rumours, it's not an essential transfer but it would be nice to add him to the squad, especially as he seems to bring some versatility.
