United’s latest Fab bid rejected

Barcelona have turned down Manchester United’s latest bid for Cesc Fabregas and have told the Premier League champions the midfielder is not for sale.

United confirmed yesterday that they had submitted an improved bid — understood to be £30 million plus add-ons for Fabregas — but reports in Spain claim that has been turned down.

“Fabregas is not for sale,” a Barcelona source said last night. “The president (Sandro Rosell) has been very clear with Man United.”
