Pique warns United off

Manchester United has been warned off their pursuit of Barcelona midfielder Cesc Fabregas by former United defender and current Barcelona defensive mainstay Gerard Pique.

United have made the former Arsenal man a priority signing for the summer transfer window and have already had two bids rejected, one worth £ 25 million and the second worth £ 30 million and new United CEO has already flown back from the club’s pre-season tour to conduct the transfer business.
