    'TRUE GREAT' ... Barca have warned United off Cesc
 NEW Barcelona boss Tata Martino has today told Manchester United: We will not sell you Cesc Fabregas.
David Moyes was desperately hoping to make Fabregas his first major signing 
since succeeding Alex Ferguson. 
But after turning down two bids for him in the last fortnight the Catalan 
giants effectively told United they are wasting their time. 
Martino said: “Evidently I’m not going to talk about the financial interests 
of the club but if the club have turned down United’s offers two times in 
this case I add a third rejection. 
“So we are going to keep him here.” 
Barca vice-president Josep Maria Bartomeu then echoed the sentiments of 
Martino. 
And he added that technical director Andoni Zubizaretta had made it clear from 
the moment United’s interest surfaced that Fabregas would stay. 
Bartomeu said: “Whatever offer United make, however big, we will say no. Cesc 
Fabregas will stay a Barcelona player.
“That United shows interest in Cesc Fabregas is normal. He is a truly great 
player. It doesn’t annoy us. 
"It gives us pride to have such a good player in our team that United want him 
because they are a great club. 
“But whatever offer arrives from them we are not going to sell Cesc Fabregas. We 
are counting on him. 
“I think Tata Martino was clear that he is counting on him as a player and 
Andoni Zubizaretta from the first day when we asked him about it saying 
there was an offer he replied Cesc is not for sale. 
“We are very happy with him.”
