- Chelsea are plans to offer Spanish midfielder Cesc Fabregas a new deal
- This is an attempt to block any the midfielder from joining Manchester United
- Chelsea have already lost Nemanja Matic to Manchester United in the summer
Manchester United boss, Jose Mourinho is reportedly planning to sign Cesc Fabregas from former club Chelsea.
The Times however reports that to avoid the Spaniard joining the Red Devils, they are set to offer him a new deal.
Mourinho is a big fan of the 30-year-old and has been monitoring his situation since moving to Old Trafford.
He bought Nemanja Matic from Stamford Bridge over the summer and the Serbian international has played a vital role in United's midfield.

But Stamford Bridge chiefs are reluctant to lose Fabregas after he impressed Antonio Conte.
After a difficult spell at the club, the ex-Barcelona midfielder has proved his quality especially when N'Golo Kante was injured.
The Spanish midfielder has 18 months left on his current deal and is chasing a two-year extension.
Chelsea have a policy of only offering 12-month contracts to players over 30 but Gary Cahill agreed four-year terms just before his 29th birthday.
Fabregas has started eight of 10 league matches and been on the field for more minutes than any of the club's other midfielders.

Conte is understood to have sat down with him over the summer after Tiemoue Bakayoko's arrival.
The former Juventus manager was keen to assure the two times Premier League winner that he had a role to play.
And after a strong start to the season and regular football, Mourinho may find it difficult to tempt him away.
