That was clearly a briefing from the club which usually isn't the whole truth. Probably too early for the club to confirm interest or it looked like he was going elsewhere.

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) and Imran (@Annihilate Now!) are here to discuss Amad saving our blushes in a win against Southampton as well as our now annual loss at home to Brighton. They discuss Amorim's post-match comments, revisit how mid-table we may or may not be, and discuss some transfer news.

It's starting to break on pornhub now though "more to come"
This could be the story that blows Di Marzio's credibility with United fans.
When's he missed? Genuine question, I'd like to know which stories he's written that turned out wrong.
all he's said is that it's advanced and there has been a bid. If Monaco refuse to sell for X reason, we can't blame Di Marzio. The biggest test for Di Marzio is if Mohamed Bouhafsi reject the story as being false. Then we can question Di Marzio.
the only time he "missed" was when Gomes signed for Barca. IIRC, I think he said he was closer to another club but barca were interested. That's the worst Di Marzio has been
Other than that, i've never known a Di Marzio story, specially one confirming a bid, to be wrong.
Or cements his place as a football tranfer god

Ok ok Im in now 
Di Marzio wrote earlier that Griezmann was third priority for United and Morata was top priority. I among with others denied the news but in the end that turned out to be correct. I think for United he has been spot on more often than not in the past two years.
FabinhoN?
Di Marzio says we're close motherfeckers!!
Is he all that? I haven't paid much attention to him last season.. watched a couple of YT vids and he looks a bit awkward.
Happy, and excited, to be proven wrong!!

Been thinking for a while that the club might release links to players as trial balloons and gauge fan feedback. Maybe they were horrified at the Dier and Matic feedback and saw the hoorah in response to their brief about Fabinho and changed their minds accordingly. An element of democratic transfers through the power of fan lobbying via social media?
Lets hope we can influence the Dembele and Rooney transfers too.

I just don't like his teeth.
Really hope there's some truth in this. Far better player than Bakayoko or Matic imo
Would be a brilliant signing. He's also good at RB should Valencia need resting/ gets injured, sign him up.
We'll have the best midfield in the league, top 3 in the world with Bayern and Real if this goes through
As comprehensive video as you can get.
I think he reported Falcao to City the summer we ended up signing him. There are probably a handful of others too because no journalist is infallible but Di Marzio does seem to be well sourced and more careful than other journalists when reporting on and committing to certain transfers.
I don't think you'd ever catch him doing what Sky did with Lewandowski and Aubameyang last week, anyway.
I wonder if Mourinho sees Fabinho as a RB rather than a CDM and we're still looking to buy Matic.
I think the RB reporting was down to Juve looking at him as a RB, yet they have stopped looking because we are well advanced in talks.
From there Di Marzio and co are only reporting we are in talks and submitted a bid, nothing about him being a RB for MUFC

Ain't this how we ended up with Schneiderlin. Maybe they shouldn't listen to us.
He looks quality. I'm almost drooling at the prospect of a midfield trio of him Herrera and Pogba.
Unlikely. The Matic reports sound fabricated and Valencia was a mainstay for Mourinho last season.
No journalist can ever be 100% correct because of the nature of the business. Clubs work on multiple targets and even if player X is correctly reported as being a target, many things can lead to player Y being signed instead. What one really looks for is credibility in terms of what a journalist reports and whether he's a serial "I'll cover all bases" bullshitter or someone who latches onto every other rumour which could be true or someone like Di Marzio who's selective in what he gives his backing to and whether they genuinely seem true at the time.
IMO, the matic reporting was probably down to journos getting their hands on the Europa transfer list (easy transfers that add to squad depth). A list no longer needed.
I think Fabinho was always on the CL list, we are only hearing about this now because its "well advanced".
No, I think it's just because it's an easy transfer to report with the Mourinho connection, like Willian last summer. We're not talking about proper journalists here, it was MEN and The Sun reporting it. Most people with their heads screwed on could see through the Matic links.

I'm not getting ahead of myself. I said the same thing when we signed BFS and Sneiderlin
Damn.. I knew he was a good DM but never realized he was good at shooting. His penalties are amazing.
I am not 100% that he would. We will play so many games next season that we'll rotate the squad. In the big CL games and games against the top 6 I agree we'll go 433, but against lesser sides I think you'll see one of Herrera/Fabinho partnering Pogba.
His ability to intercept and tackle is outstanding. What a signing this would be!
It gets the juices flowing. Like your favourite porn video, it gets you on.It's posted after every three pages
