Fabiano wants United move
Brazil striker Luis Fabiano has issued a come-and-get-me
plea to Manchester United after ruling out a move to Tottenham.
The Sevilla star does not want to sign a new contract with the
Spanish club and he is a target of AC Milan.
Fabiano, who scored twice against Ivory Coast in the group stages
of the World Cup, is attracted by Milan, but he is also keen on a
move to United, where he would be able to play alongside Wayne
Rooney.
Sevilla have said they will not sell the 29-year-old, however, he
is desperate to secure a move that will give him a chance to win
the UEFA Champions League.
Fabiano told the Daily Star
Sunday: "I have a real chance of winning a World Cup here in
South Africa, and that is what I must stay focused on even though I
know my future has to be sorted soon.
"I have made it clear that I will not be signing a new contract
with Sevilla and at 29 I now need to join a club where I can start
challenging for the highest honours from the first season.
"I have heard Tottenham Hotspur made an inquiry about me but, with
all respect, that is not somewhere I am going to be able to win the
Premier League or the European Cup in the next three or four
years.
"There would be no point in me joining Tottenham. I might as well
stay at Sevilla, as it's the same thing. Sevilla are actually
bigger when you look at how much we have been in the European Cup,
so there would be no point me moving to a smaller team.
"The choice will come down to Manchester United and AC Milan. That
is the sort of team I want to be signing for, one of the true
giants of Europe.
"I think the way Manchester United play football is very
attractive, I must be honest and say Premier League football
attracts me and also the way Manchester United play football
attracts me.
"You think about being Wayne Rooney's strike partner and that is
very attractive for any striker.
"I think the style of Premier League football suits me and I think
I could score goals and be very successful there.
"Their coach is a winner, their players are winners and they are
one of the few teams in Europe challenging for the top honours
season after season.
"As soon as the World Cup is over I will make a quick decision on
my future - and while it is going on I hope Sevilla can open
discussions. I have enjoyed my time here but I now need to be at a
giant."
