Manchester United goalkeeper David de Gea says Cesc Fabregas would help Manchester United Fabregas moved to Barcelona from Arsenal for £25m two years ago but has not been able to establish himself as a stalwart at the Nou Camp. A £35 million deal for Fabregas would represent a club record for United, surpassing the £31m paid to Spurs for Dimitar Berbatov in 2008. Fabregas has also bought a flat in Belgravia, after winning a court battle with his girlfriend's ex-husband. Daniella Seeman's ex husband Elie Taktouk has been forced to sell their marital home to Fabregas at a knock-down price after a judge ruled he must pay Seeman a £1.4 million cash settlement.
