5. Cesc Fabregas
Barcelona and Spain midfielder Cesc Fabregas is no stranger to the Premier League as he made his name with Arsenal, ironically after previously being on the youth books of Barcelona until Arsene Wenger spotted his talent. Clearly, there is a bit of history behind this one as United did make
attempts to sign the midfielder over the summer. However, in the end, Moyes pursuit of the player proved to be totally fruitless as he stayed in Spain. It will be interesting to see if fresh attempts are made to acquire the former Gunner. Prizing the player away will prove to be a tough challenge as his current team sit on top of La Liga. In contrast, Man Utd sits just seventh in the Premier League and you suspect that they dont quite have the same pull as they did when Sir Alex Ferguson was in charge. Nevertheless, Fabregas form this season provides a pretty clear indication on what he would be able to offer the champions. An average rating of 7.69 is certainly impressive this season, but its his goalscoring and creativity that is the real impressive element. The Spanish international has scored seven league goals and assisted a further nine; no one in European football this season has been able to assist more goals than that. When we think rivalries in this league the one between Arsenal and Man Utd is a significant one, despite them not being geographically close. There are certainly a lot of interesting elements to this proposed deal that would attract Moyes. The fact that he can sign such a creative player that also happens to be a former Arsenal player that could deny the Gunners the title makes this all hugely interesting.
