Cesc Fabregas has revealed that Manchester United are the only team in English football he truly admires and watches. But any hopes the English champions, or for that matter their Spanish counterparts Real Madrid, have of prying him away from Emirates Stadium will be dashed by the news that the Spanish starlet can quite happily see himself staying at Arsenal "for all my life". On the eve of tomorrow's clash between Arsenal and United, Fabregas highlighted Sir Alex Ferguson's side as his club's main title rivals and claimed their style of play sets them apart from the Gunners' other opponents. He said: "I think Arsenal and Man United are different from everyone else. I love the way they play, they are a great side. I always watch them play and they are the only team I really like watching in England every week."
Fabregas will be up against United's Cristiano Ronaldo at Emirates Stadium in a battle of the two most creative players in the Premier League. Fabregas, who is contracted to Arsenal for a further seven years, admits he has a soft spot for the glamour of United but says he could not see himself playing for another English club.
He said: "Right now, no. Of course I love the way Man United play and Old Trafford is a great stadium. When you play there you always have a feeling that you are a footballer and it is a big game. For me, I hope to stay here [Arsenal] for all my life but in football you never know and Man United I like.
"At the moment I am very happy here and to be here. In three years they might not want me here and you have to change [clubs]. At the moment I'm very happy here and I don't see the point of moving." The brilliant Spaniard is frequently linked with a move to Barcelona or Real Madrid in the Spanish press and admits the stories do get a bit tiresome at times. "What can I do? I don't make the calls. I just play football and they say what they want. I just play football. It's all I can do and what I like. "I am Spanish. My cars are still Spanish. But I like England, I like London. I like the people. I don't feel English or half English but I wouldn't mind if my son or sons were English."
