10 Players Manchester United Should Target In The Summer

#4 Fabinho

Fabinho can solve two problems at United

Fabinho has been a long-time target for Manchester United and this summer would be the appropriate time to try to sign him up. Capable of playing both as a defensive midfielder and as well as a right back, he solves up many issues in United’s setup. Fabinho is comfortable with the ball at his feet and tends to pick out the right man in the opposition half. He records a passing accuracy of 87%, and that is a promising sign for a deep-lying midfielder.

Fabinho follows his defensive instructions, and stops the flow of opposition attacks and has won 48% of his defensive duels this season. In 30 appearances, he has scored six goals and assisted three times, a stat that further enhances his status as that of a box-to-box player. He is particularly strong in the air and has won an impressive 66% of his defensive duels in the league.

He registers four defensive actions per game on average, hence the balance that he maintains between his defensive and attacking duties might prompt United to lure him to Old Trafford soon.
