Gary Lineker said Cesc Fabregas would be "mad" to take the Manchester United job, while Fabregas said on Friday that he had never thought about leaving. Football365 said Fabregas has been mooted as a possible replacement for Michael Carrick at Manchester United.
Lineker's view
Lineker said on The Rest is Football: "He’s going to have a big decision at some point because if he continues to have even moderate success with Como a big club will come in for him."
Lineker said on The Rest is Football: "It might be United. If he takes that job, he’d be mad! It’s a graveyard really."
Shearer on the role
Alan Shearer said: "I know it’s a huge football club, but it’s not an attractive job at the minute, because of how many have been in there and how many have been sacked."
Alan Shearer said: "The only thing attractive about it is he might get a great pay-off in 12 or 18 months’ time."
Fabregas response
Speaking to reporters on Friday, Fabregas said: "I’ve never thought about leaving."
When asked about replacing Carrick ahead of Como’s match against Man Utd, Fabregas said: "As I’m sure you can understand, I won’t answer that question because I think that’s not a very nice question."
Fabregas said: "I don’t think that shows enough respect to a great footballer and manager like Michael Carrick at the helm of a wonderful Manchester United side."
