Man Utd Transfers: 10 World Cup Stars To Target This Summer

5. Cesc Fabregas

Cesc Fabregas was one of our main targets in last summer's transfer window with United making three separate bids for the Barcelona midfielder, all of them being rejected by the Spanish club. But he's reportedly back on our radar again with Barca informing the ex-Arsenal hero that he will be part of a clear-out at the Nou Camp, following a largely-disappointing campaign for the Catalans. Barcelona were knocked out of the Champions League at the quarter-final stage and only have slim hopes of winning La Liga this term, and will listen to offers for Fabregas this summer. Despite failing to get the pulses going at Barca, Fabregas will be at this summer's World Cup for Spain, where United may keep a watchful eye on him as we look to finally fill our creative midfield void. Former club Arsenal supposedly have first refusal should ever the 27-year-old become available, however, which could yet prove to make matters complicated. Nevertheless, Fabregas is a player we must target this summer as we enter yet another transfer window having still failed to replace Paul Scholes.
