United make second bid for Fabregas

Manchester United have made a second bid for Barcelona and Spain midfielder Cesc Fabregas. United confirmed last week that they had made a first offer for the former Arsenal star, and manager David Moyes said at a press conference in Yokohama yesterday that a second offer had been lodged.

Executive vice-chairman, Ed Woodward, returned to the UK ahead of schedule to carry out some urgent transfer business, and Moyes confirmed: “As I understand it, Ed had a response (to the first offer). We have made a second offer but Ed is dealing with it rather than me.”

So far, United have not made any new signings this summer, other than Uruguay Under-20 star Guillermo Varela.

And whilst Moyes accepts there may come a time when he has to walk away from the deal, that position has not been reached yet.

“I think a point does come,” said Moyes.

“But when you are interested in good players, you want to give it every opportunity to materialise.

“I will hope things will continue to move forward.”
