Manchester United tried to sign Cesc Fabregas from Barcelona last year as David Moyes wanted to combine Van Persie with the Spanish midfielder as they used to play together in Arsenal some years ago.

Unfortunately for Moyes, Fabregas decided to stay with the Catalan club, Barcelona where he now plays an important role as he is a consistent starter for Gerardo Martino having already played 23 matches for Barcelona in this season.

The former Arsenal player admitted and stated that he is flattered by having attracted the interest of a team with the caliber of Manchester United but the midfielder has no desire on leaving Barcelona anytime soon.

‘’It’s always flattering when a club like Manchester United talks very well about you and you can see they want you’ he said. But I’m going through an amazing moment at Barcelona now. I’m playing every week and I feel very important to the team. I’m very happy right now.’’ Fabregas told Complete Betting, the Bookmaker reviews website.

David Moyes ultimately had to settle by signing Marouane Fellaini from Everton as the Scottish coach wanted to solve some of the main problems that Manchester United has been going through in this season and the midfield of the team was displaying many weaknesses which is why Moyes wanted to solve it by signing Fabregas and instead had to go for Fellaini .

Fellaini was making impressive performances when he played with Everton but when he joined Manchester United, things took a huge turn as he has not been able to live up to the expectations that were created when he joined Manchester United with a price tag of €27.5 million.

Juan Mata is the latest acquisition of Moyes and the former Chelsea player has made a better debut than Fellaini but United are still struggling to climb on higher spots at the Premier League and Moyes might try to make another move for Fabregas in the summer.
