Manchester United preparing to launch another bid for Monaco star Fabinho - report
MANCHESTER UNITED are set to raise their offer for Fabinho.
Manchester United target Fabinho displays impressive skills
Manchester United have endured a troublesome start to the transfer window so far.
Victor Lindelof has been their sole new recruit, signing in a £31million deal from Benfica at the start of last month.
Jose Mourinho is trying to overhaul his squad in order to ensure the Red Devils scrap it out with the likes of Chelsea, Manchester City and Tottenham for the Premier League title next season.
He wants to seal deals for the likes of Alvaro Morata, Ivan Perisic and Nemanja Matic but, as of yet, has been unable to get the transfers over the line.
Victor Lindelof is Manchester United's sole summer signing so far
Fabinho is a target with reports last week claiming the player rejected a move to Barcelona because he is desperate to play under Mourinho at Old Trafford.
And Italian outlet Corriere dello Sport claim the Red Devils are considering another move and will improve on the bid made 10 days ago.
The 23-year-old enjoyed a fine campaign for the Ligue 1 giants, helping them pip Paris Saint-Germain to the title.
PSG are also in the market for the Brazil international but Monaco are not prepared to sell him to a domestic rival.
It is said United have had a bid rejected but are expected to return with a fresh offer in the coming days.

And the Red Devils are also named as the player's most likeliest destination.
Fabinho admitted earlier this month that the prospect of playing for United under Mourinho would be tempting.
He told Brazilian TV channel Esporte Interativo: “The offer would be tempting, first I would talk with my agents/representatives and with Monaco to make sure the right decision is made.
“But it's a great team and I would definitely think hard about the offer.”
