New Manchester United manager David Moyes has said that former Arsenal player Cesc Fabregas is not his only target and is confident of signing new players to bolter the club's squad ahead of the new season.
According to the Independent, United have seen two bids for Fabregas rejected by Barcelona, whose new coach Gerardo Martino said on Friday he does not want to sell the former Arsenal captain and Moyes has hinted that he may be forced to pursue other targets, with the additional problem of the uncertainty over Wayne Rooney's future.

Meanwhile, the report added that Sir Bobby Charlton had expressed confidence that Wayne Rooney will not be leaving Old Trafford, despite Chelsea's continued interest in the England striker.
