Father of Monaco star; "We like Manchester United but we have a little soft spot for City."

The father of Monaco star Fabinho has hinted that his son will choose Pep Guardiola over Jose Mourinho if he comes to the Premier League this summer.
 
The 23-year-old defender has been in sensational form for the club from the principality this season and has been linked with a move to England with both Manchester clubs reportedly vying for his signature.
 
In an interview with Telefoot (via The Express) the players father admitted that; “We have talked to Manchester City, Manchester United and Arsenal. We have even been approached by Barcelona, but it didn't go any further. We like Manchester United and the work of [Jose] Mourinho, but we have a little soft spot for City."
 
The player, who is under contract at Monaco until 2012, has always maintained that a move to the Premier League is of interest. He recently commented that; “I have a contract until 2021, but the Premier League is a league that interests me. Maybe one day I will come and play here."
