Someone get on the phone to Jose and convince/pressure him into signing this fecker! This is gonna look like us missing out on Thiago again when City sign Fabinho in a couple of weeks 
Fabinho

United have clearly put out feelers to Fabinho's reps. He's aware we're interested, but is also aware we haven't officially made a bid to sign him.
He's no.2 on Mourinho's list of DMs. Matic is no.1.
Mouirnho confident of getting Matic because Chelsea have finally caved in. If that move somehow gets blocked at the 11th hour, United will move for Fabinho. Fabinho knows of United's interest in him, but is also very wary that we've yet to move for him...He's excited about the prospect of signing for United, hence this interview, but is also courting the official bid, which he dreads may never come.
It's a 'I know you're interested, come sign me' plea. We are interested, but you're in a queue, my friend.

This has to happen.
How do you know all this?
When was the last time a genuine Utd target spoke openly to the media, and ended up being bought?
This has to happen.
I predict a surge of activity in this thread based on this tweet.
It's gonna be fun.
The last time we all got hyped over a player giving a positive interview, didn't go so well...
Hopefully we get him if we're in for him!

Who puts Matic ahead of Fabinho?
Thats like ancient news. Keep up Bro!
And you know this because?
Now that's esoteric!
He doesn't. He hasn't a clue, just like the rest of us.
Body language school probably. Nailed it.
I'm not saying we ain't, all I'm saying is players who once jumped at the chance for playing for us now they think of all there options and we've had players gone to other clubs instead of us!
Is he an upgrade on Fellaini?
jk (well, semi-serious...)

Aaah!
OK.... so are we seeing actual positive news on this guy finally. Loads of people reporting we are close to signing him or at least making an offer
But is any of it reliable?

Is this a new tactic by United? First Greizmann talks about how he'd feel if he joined us & now Fabinho!
Can he play in a midfield 2?
No. Absolutely none of it.
The actual reliable people have said it's not happening.
He did all season.
There's actually some smell of Garay and Gaitan off this rumour.
We were definitely linked to him last Summer and possibly the year before too I think.

This!
Bakayoko looks more and more likely for Chelsea, not sure they'll part with both.
They signed tielemans Who would be a shoe in for Fabinhos Position. The also have Moutinho . They can sell both if they wanted
Tielemans is more of a replacement for Bakayoko, Meite for Fabinho. Bit surprised there's not much media speculation with him, he was fantastic for Monaco and a decent option at RB too.
This
What? isnt Tielemans a Holding mid? like Carrick plays for us? How is he Bakayako replacement. Bakayako reminds me of Fellaini
Tielemans looked more a like a box to box to me, that's where he played against us IIRC. Different characteristics to Bakayoko but same position.
No he isn't really
Fair enough. always saw him as a deeplying play maker. but then again he is so good he can play most Midfield positions
This has to happen.
never have I wanted a player I had no fecking clue about as much as this. What position does he play in?
Who cares just sign him the Caf loves him
This is becoming a proper muppet thread... Need more links from Brazil, like that one a few days ago.
Bombazazo!
Bombazazo!
That smile...you know you want him Jose
Wish it had been 5/7 United
Can always rely on Sullivan's Theorem.
Perhaps we've identified something dodgy in his birth certificate and that is why we won't sign him, he looks more early thirties than early twenties.
