Fabregas says he never considered United move

The former Arsenal man – who only joined the Catalan giants in 2011 – was rumoured to be unhappy.

BARCELONA MIDFIELDER CESC Fabregas says it is his “dream” to stay at the club and that he was never interested in joining Manchester United.

The Premier League champions have been chasing the 26-year-old Spain international for much of the transfer window and are believed to have had several bids turned down in their attempts to prize him away from the Camp Nou.

The former Arsenal man – who only joined the Catalan giants in 2011 – was rumoured to be unhappy over a lack of guaranteed first-team football.

However, he has started both of Barcelona’s La Liga matches so far this season under new coach Gerardo Martino and has now revealed that he dreams of playing with the club for the rest of his career.

“I have never said that I could go, nor have I talked to the president or the coach about it,” Fabregas told Spanish TV station TVE.

“What I don’t know is how this can be said to be true just because some journalist wrote it on Twitter.

“My dream is to stay here and succeed.

“I have a great desire to achieve even more and I am committed to this club and proud to be here.”

    Hard to blame him really,it’s a World Cup season,Barca will likely get further than Man U in the CL with big players for bigger clubs wanting to impress,wether united fans like it of not-the fact is the big signings are hesitating to sign for David Moyes

    Embarrassing episode for moyes and united who never had a chance of getting cesc… moyes has not got the same pulling power as fergie and it’s been shown this summer! Would’ve been a super signing though

    Darren they had to be getting encouragement from somewhere, otherwise they wouldn’t have bothered or even thought about a 3rd bid …so to say it was embarrassing is just nonsense .

    This is why Moyes could prove to be a dud, nobody will want to sign for him

    I fear a beating at Anfield Sunday, I really feel like united are in De-Moyes
