Barcelona have told Manchester United that Cesc Fabregas is not moving to Old Trafford.
United confirmed they had submitted an improved bid – understood to be £30million plus add-ons for the midfielder – but reports in Spain claim that has been turned down.
"Fabregas is not for sale," a Barcelona source said. "The president (Sandro Rosell) has been very clear with United."
United boss Davie Moyes may now look elsewhere as he looks to strengthen his side.
