Song asks Man Utd to fall back

Cesc Fabregas could be set for a return to England with Manchester United

Manchester United boss Moyes has made Fabregas his No.1 target.

But Barca midfielder Alex Song reckons United’s pursuit of the Spaniard is guaranteed to fail.
Song, who played with Fabregas at Arsenal, said: “I know Cesc is 100 per cent here. He loves Barcelona, he loves the club.
“He will stay here next season and give 100 per cent because I know him very well and he’ll want to fight. He’s focused on the club. He just wants to give his best for Barcelona.

“He’s from Barcelona, he loves Barcelona and he’ll want to start the season to show what he can do.
“People are talking and talking... It’s my own opinion but I know he will stay here, 100 per cent.”
United have had two offers knocked back by the Catalan club but are ready to test Barca’s resolve with a third bid of around £35m.

Cesc Fabregas has emerged as David Moyes' number one transfer target

Chief executive Edward Woodward left United’s pre-season tour early to focus on the Fabregas deal. Moyes said: “It is ongoing.”
Moyes is set to find out today whether he has any realistic hopes of capturing Fabregas.

Fabregas is concerned that Xavi and Andres Iniesta block his path to regular first-team football at Barcelona

The midfielder’s fate is in the hands of new Barca boss Gerardo Martino. And he is due to reveal his plans for the former Arsenal midfielder when he is unveiled this afternoon.
Fabregas is thought to be interested in joining United, partly due to concerns about getting regular football at Barcelona ahead of next summer’s World Cup.
