The Red Devils have made an opening offer of
€30m for the 26-year-old, but his coach
insists the Spain midfielder wants to prove
himself at Camp Nou
Barcelona coach Tito Vilanova has cooled speculation
linking midfielder Cesc Fabregas to Manchester United,
insisting the 26-year-old wants to stay with the Catalan
club.
The English champions have made an opening offer of
€30 million for the former Arsenal captain, who has
failed to hold down a regular first-team place since
returning to Camp Nou.
Having already seen Thiago depart to rejoin former boss
Pep Guardiola at Bayern Munich, Barcelona are keen to
avoid losing another world-class La Masia graduate this
summer.
And Vilanova is confident Fabregas is still motivated by
the prospect of proving himself at his boyhood club
and has no thoughts of returning to the Premier
League.
Speaking to reporters, Vilanova said: "I am aware that
we have received offers from other teams. I talked with
him and he told me he wants to stay.
"Cesc doesn't contemplate the possibility of going to
another club. He knows that the competition here is
great. His dream is to succeed here. I'm totally calm."
