Questions are still being raised on whether Barcelona\u2019s Cesc Fabregas will finally join reigning English Premier League, EPL champions.<\/p>\n

This is coming on the heels of reported interest being showed at the Spanish international, David Moyes said Friday he hopes to have some good news about the possibility of Fabregas joining them in the \u201cnext day or so. \u201c<\/p>\n

Moyes is looking to bring some new players into the squad in his first season in charge at Old Trafford and has been linked with the Spanish international midfielder, while Wayne Rooney\u2019s future remains unresolved.<\/p>\n

\"Fabregas: <\/p>\n

Fabregas: Going to Man U?<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

Manchester United are in Sydney as part of their pre-season tour and are taking on the A-League All Stars on Saturday.<\/p>\n

But all interest has been on Moyes\u2019 behind-the-scenes transfer manoeuvrings, with the British press reporting the club has lodged a \u00a326-million bid for midfielder Fabregas, which has yet to be rejected by Spanish champions, Barcelona.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m in contact with the chief executive who has been dealing with it and hopefully I\u2019ll know a bit more in the next day or so,\u201d Moyes told a press conference when asked how the Fabregas negotiations were progressing.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s the middle of the night back home in England so I might have a bit more info in the next day or so about how it is going.\u201d<\/p>\n

Club Chief Executive Ed Woodward left the pre-season tour earlier this week to attend what he said was \u201curgent transfer business\u201d.<\/p>\n

Moyes, who has been tight-lipped over the Rooney situation this week, gave little away when he said Friday \u201cthe club\u2019s position hasn\u2019t changed on Wayne Rooney, there\u2019s no change to that. Besides that… we\u2019re trying very hard to make some additions to the squad and hopefully there will be some good news in the not too distant future,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

Spicing up the Rooney situation is an offer from new Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho for the England international striker for a reported \u00a310 million.<\/p>\n

United has repeatedly said he is not for sale.<\/p>\n

With the new English Premier League season fast approaching, former Everton boss Moyes said the enormity of his new job has sunk in since Manchester United have been feted on their pre-season tour in Asia and Austalia.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt has sunk in because the amount of supporters we have in Australia, in Thailand, where we have been so far, it is incredible,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe enormity of the job sunk in even more yesterday when I was fortunate enough to see an incredible video on Manchester United under Matt Busby, followed by Sir Alex Ferguson.<\/p>\n

\u201cSo if I didn\u2019t know the enormity before I certainly do now after seeing what those two gentlemen did in the job before me. \u201cIt\u2019s a great job, a fantastic football club, a club that every person in the world knows the name of.”<\/p>\n

I\u2019m very fortunate and privileged that I was given the opportunity to manage and I hope I can come as close as I can to the success of the two gentlemen before me.\u201d<\/p>\n

Moyes\u2019s reign at Manchester United began with an embarrassing 1-0 defeat against Thailand\u2019s Singha All-Star XI in Bangkok last Saturday. His team have been training hard this week for their next match against the A-League All Stars.<\/p>\n

\u201cI want to see us step up from where we were in Thailand,\u201d Moyes said.<\/p>\n

\u201cI thought that in general the fitness was fine in really difficult conditions on the field but overall I\u2019d like to see the play improve as well.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe had opportunities to score \u2013 I\u2019d like to see that improve.\u201d<\/p>\n
