6 signings that would win Manchester United the Premier League title

#5. Fabinho

Current Club: AS Monaco

The Brazilian is equally adept at playing right-back or centre-midfield and is superb on set pieces. He possesses the kind of versatility that Jose Mourinho praises highly and importantly he’d add steel to the center of the midfield while not compromising on ball-playing ability (like what happens when a certain afro-haired Belgian is asked to fill in at Defensive midfield) – and fulfilling the same task Dier would have done, free up Herrera and Pogba.

The Brazilian rose through the Paulinia and Fluminense youth systems in his native Brazil before moving to Real Madrid (where he spent the duration on loan to their B side Castilla – he had his only appearance for the senior side when he played 14 minutes vs Malaga). Monaco signed him on a loan in 2013 before the deal was made permanent in 2015 where he has shone: In fact, he scored a quite amazing 11 goals in 50 games for Monaco during their sensational last season.

Having once said “My objective is to get to a club with the dimension of Manchester United. I have no clue if one day I'll be a United player, but I'll keep working so it stops being a rumour and becomes reality” it’s clear he’s interested in the move, but with Bakayoko already having been sold it’s unlikely Monaco will want to sell his central midfield partner in the same window.
