Vilanova rules out Fab exit

David Moyes has suffered a blow to his Manchester United rebuilding plans after Barcelona boss Tito Vilanova claimed Cesc Fabregas has no intention of leaving the Nou Camp.

Whilst there were indications that Moyes’ interest in Thiago Alcantara had cooled before the Spain U21 star elected to join Bayern Munich, the same claim cannot be made of Fabregas.

When United made their £26million bid on Monday it was assumed Moyes had been given an indication he had a chance of landing a player who would undoubtedly strengthen his squad.
