New Manchester United boss David Moyes knows he needs to find a new midfield general in this summer's market.
The Daily Mail says Barcelona ace Cesc Fabregas is under consideration by Moyes.
Moyes is weighing up possible moves for Fabregas, his Barcelona team-mate Thiago Alcantara and PSV Eindhoven skipper Kevin Strootman.
Holland midfielder Strootman, 23, is a tall, commanding figure who can operate in a holding role or as a deep-lying playmaker.
He has been under review at Old Trafford for months.
