Manchester United face an anxious wait as they seek a response from Barcelona over their latest offer for Cesc Fabregas.

The Mail on Sunday says United tested Barcelona's resolve to hang on to midfielder Fabregas with a second bid of £30million, just hours after David Moyes enjoyed a first victory as the club's new manager.

But the Premier League champions still face a frustrating delay over their top target, with Barcelona currently waiting to appoint a new manager after the resignation, due to ill health, of coach Tito Vilanova.

United initially offered £26m for Fabregas, the former Arsenal captain, last week.
