After surprisingly gettting Michael Owen on July 3 and Antonio Valencia on July 1, Manchester United still don't appear to be done in this summer's transfer market.

The Mirror is reporting that United will submit a £16 million bid to Sevilla to get Brazilian striker Luis Fabiano to be a replacement for the recently departed Carlos Tevez.

United will be attempting to get Fabiano after he had a great Confederations Cup in which he scored five goals and won the Golden Shoe for having the most goals scored in the competition.

However, United will be challenging AC Milan to get Fabiano's services after Milan lost out on the services of Wolfsburg star Edin Dzeko earlier this month when he declined a £13 million transfer to join the Italian giants.

United still have £64 million left from their transfer fee from Cristiano Ronaldo leaving to Real Madrid, and will desperately try to acquire his services for the upcoming season at Old Trafford.
