Manchester United Make Improved Bid Of £30m Plus Add-Ons For Cesc Fabregas: Daily Soccer Report

Manchester United have reportedly made an improved bid of £30million plus add-ons for Barcelona midfielder Cesc Fabregas, according to Sky Sports.

The Red Devils are not giving up the chase for the Spanish midfield maestro despite the fact that the Barcelona vice-president says that Fabregas is non-transferable. United may feel there’s an opportunity to lure Fabregas away now that there’s a question about who will become the new manager of Barcelona after Tito Vilanova stepped down.
