Manchester United will lodge a final bid of £35million for Cesc Fabregas according to reports.
Goal.com suggests that the Premier League champions will return to Barcelona with a third proposal after they rejected the £30m plus add-ons offer for the former Arsenal skipper.
United are prepared to offer Fabregas £200,000-a-week but will turn their attentions elsewhere if this effort does not go to plan.
"This is the final push," a source close to the deal told Goal. "They are only willing to give it one more go, and know that if this fails they have other options."
