JOSE MOURINHO wants to land Brazilian Fabinho in a £22million deal.
The Manchester United boss and highly-rated Monaco right-back share an agent in Jorge Mendes.
Fabinho, 22, has been a star in France but is ready to move to the Premier League where the Old Trafford side are looking for a proper right-back.
The Red Devils will even be happy to pay a hefty fee and wages because bigger prices help in any work permit application.
Fabinho, who had a loan spell at Real Madrid, has won four caps for Brazil but is still second choice to 33-year-old Dani Alves.
Spain midfielder Juan Mata, 28, could be headed the other way.
Sold to United by Mourinho when Chelsea boss, the £37m man is a target for La Liga side Espanyol.
