Skysports news (channel) is reporting that United upped the bid because Cesc said he is happy to join United as long as Barca accept the bid, this caused our Chief to immediately return early back from Australia on Wednesday, this caused many fans to think he was coming back to sell Rooney but he actually came to improve the bid on Cesc on Friday, now I hope the bid was sent before we heard about the disappointing news about Tito, but SSN are telling us its all up to the Barca board if they want to sell Cesc as he would be happy to move to United, whereas 4 days ago when they reported the first bid SSN reported that Cesc would consider a move back to England, including United but also Arsenal, City and Chelsea.
What's strange is none of that has been reported in the Spanish press. It's all coming from the UK. In the barca based papers it's all about finding a CB. Weird
