Manchester United Give Up On Cavani And Fabregas

Manchester United have reportedly pulled out of multi-million deals to sign both Edinson Cavani and Cesc Fabregas.

Bosses at United bosses are said to have spent the past six months weighing up the pair with a view to bringing them to Old Trafford.

Uruguay striker Cavani has been on the Red Devils’ transfer hit list last season, with ex-manager David Moyes travelling to watch him in action in Paris three times.

The Paris Saint-Germain frontman is unsettled at the French champions and keen on a move to the Premier League, according to the Daily Star.

Yet new United boss Louis Van Gaal is believed to have ruled out a move for the player.

Cavani joined PSG in a £55m deal from Napoli last summer.

However, he is understood to have become frustrated at playing second fiddle to Sweden’s Zlatan Ibrahimovic.

Cavani reportedly told United he would only join them if he was put on the same £300,000-a-week wages as England star Wayne Rooney – a demand chief executive Ed Woodward is said to be unwilling to meet.

The club have also admitted defeat in their bid to sign Barcelona ace Cesc Fabgregas.

The £45 million-rated ex-Arsenal star has been on United’s wish list for more than a year but Van Gaal is now said to have turned his attention elsewhere.

A senior United source told the newspaper: “It won’t be happening due to a combination of reasons.”
