But they face stiff competition from moneybags PSG but Fabinho, 24, told reporters they are yet to make a move and he is only thinking about finishing the season with Monaco.

Fabinho said: "Speaking the truth, I have had no contact with any team and I do not even care at the moment.

"I'm concentrating on finishing the season well at Monaco and then, when it's time, I'll sit down with the club and if I have to listen to any proposal, we'll listen."

United have been linked with Fabinho since his incredible 2016/17 season where his ten goals and four assists helped Monaco to the Ligue 1 title and Champions League semi-final.

The former Rio Ave star was part of the team that lost the Coupe de la Ligue 3-0 to PSG and admitted he was frustrated that they come up short against their rivals yet again.

Fabinho added: "When you concede a goal early in the game makes it much more difficult, they have a great team.

"We tried to press and it did not work, they came out really well and with a lot of quality. Another year and, unfortunately, we cannot win against them.

"But we will go forward and fight to ensure second place in the championship."

Should Manchester United rekindle their interest in Monaco ace Fabinho?
