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.
