MANAGER David Moyes said yesterday he hopes to have some good news about the possibility of Barcelona's Cesc Fabregas joining Manchester United in the "next day or so".
Moyes is looking to bring some new players into the squad in his first season in charge at Old Trafford and has been linked with the Spanish international midfielder, while Wayne Rooney's future remains unresolved. The English Premier League champion is in Sydney as part of its pre-season tour and is taking on the A-League All Stars today.
But all interest has been on Moyes' behind-the-scenes transfer manoeuvring, with the British press reporting the club has lodged a 26-million-pound (US$39 million) bid for midfielder Fabregas, which has yet to be rejected by Spanish champion Barcelona.
"I'm in contact with the chief executive who has been dealing with it and hopefully I'll know a bit more in the next day or so," Moyes said. "It's the middle of the night back home in England so I might have a bit more info in the next day or so about how it is going."
Club chief executive Ed Woodward left the pre-season tour to attend what he said was "urgent transfer business".
Moyes, who has been tight-lipped over the Rooney situation this week, gave little away when he said "the club's position hasn't changed on Wayne Rooney, there's no change to that".
Spicing up the Rooney situation is an offer from new Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho for the England international striker for a reported 10 million pounds (US$15.1 million).
