I think MU should stop pursuing Fabregas as it looks like a dead end. Even if Barca is willing to sell, i don't think Fabregas' heart is in MU considering the history he has with MU when he was with Arsenal.
The same goes for Thiago. I don't think we "lost' him as he was never keen to join MU at the very beginning and all along he was waiting for Pep Guardiola to make a bid for him.
No point getting players if their heart is not set on joing the club.

Ferguson inherited a $#!tty Man Utd team back in 1986.
By the time he won his first silverware with Man Utd, only two players from the original team he inherited remained. The rest were all his acquisition.
He built a whole new era for Man Utd from scratch with a small budget. That is why I really respect this man...
A lot of haters asy Man Utd is good because they are rich. It is in fact the other way round; Man Utd is rich because they are good! They only started making big money when they started winning under Sir Alex. Before that they were nothing.
