Yeah just like United officially bid for Thiago too?
Are you seriously comparing the two? lol
The Thiago to United rubbish was nothing other than Twitter bollocks, and rumor upon rumor, all based on absolutely nothing with any credibility. The United bid for Fabregas HAS happened. If you are trying to claim BBC sport doesn't have any credibility then you clearly know nothing about the very thing you are trying to insult. They just don't get involved, or put their name to something, that isn't absolutely concrete, and not once did they say United had bid for Thiago.
The bid has happened....why its happened I have no idea, because it's obviously never, ever going to happen.
