Cesc Fabregas to Manchester United
Why the rumours – Fabregas is apparently out of favour at Barcelona falling down the pecking order which consists of Xavi, Iniesta and Busquets. With the arrival of Neymar, changes in the formation might oust Fabregas from the lineup permanently. Manchester United, on the other hand, are out of options in the midfield. Michael Carrick had a fantastic season but it would be too much to ask him to perform at that level consistently. They need a talisman in the midfield, and Fabregas might well be the missing cog.
Why it will not happen - Nobody has given a hint regarding the transfer. Although they are not in immediate need for Fabregas, will Barcelona let a proven world-class footballer leave? Will Fabregas leave his boyhood club after stating that it is his dream to perform well at Nou Camp? All very unlikely.
Fabregas in his own words has spoken that “If someone says anything that isn’t that I want to play at Barca, it’s completely absurd.”
