I feel as though his main focus is Fabregas. Even though he know's he won't get him. I think he's bidding as a get out clause, to say he tried to sign a player but to no avail.United missed out on players under Fergie, to be honest every move Moyes does is under scrutiny.
Come August 31 I think United will have signed some good players. Will it be the players the fans hoped for? Maybe.
But if United fans think Moyes isn't trying to sign players or he isn't up to doing so, they are mad.
If this is the case, this could also make Moyes resort to a rushed bid for a player that isn't great but is a Midfielder.
