Why i chose LFC:
Not many players can claim Manchester United and Liverpool both were interested in signing them but that’s exactly what happened with former AS Monaco man Fabinho and the Brazilian has revealed he chose the Reds over the Red Devils primarily because they showed more desire to land him.
“There are many things (that made me sign for the club). The infrastructure at the club is very good. This was one of the reasons why I chose Liverpool,” Fabinho was quoted as saying by the club website.
United had been long-term admirers of the Brazilian midfielder, but recent reports had seen them linked more with his compatriot Fred, who plays for Ukranian side Shaktar Donetsk.
“Also, Liverpool showed a lot of interest in me quite early. That was also very important because I felt the club wanted me to come. Then, I was able to know a bit more about the city of Liverpool,” the 24-year-old midfielder added.
As United’s interest reportedly cooled, Liverpool swooped in and got their man on a long-term deal.
“Unfortunately, I wasn’t able to meet Liverpool supporters – I have only seen on video or television the way they are. From what I have seen so far, they are fantastic.”
