Mats Hummels and Luke Shaw still targets for United

Manchester United will not be trying to sign Barcelona midfielder Cesc Fabregas, a year after failing in their on-off chase for the Spaniard.

Fabregas, 27, is believed to be keen on a return to the Premier League after a disappointing spell with his hometown club. But while his first club, Arsenal, are watching developments, United will not enter an auction for a player who is not on new manager Louis van Gaal’s wish-list.

Last summer Fabregas was the top target for David Moyes but, after weeks of talks and two bids of up to £30million, the player decided to stay in Spain.

The resulting fall-out saw Moyes and executive vice-chairman Ed Woodward criticised for failing to land their man and their partnership never recovered.

Van Gaal will try to persuade Germany centre-half Mats Hummels to join from Borussia Dortmund and £12m Ukraine winger Yevhen Konoplyanka is also on Van Gaal’s radar. Southampton left-back Luke Shaw is still likely to join, despite Patrice Evra signing a one-year contract last week.

Shaw, 18, will only sign on the understanding he is first choice.
