Fabregas has been struggling with a hamstring injury that he sustained in the Champions League defeat against Braga two weeks ago.
He said in The People: “I’m happy to say everything is going according to plan with my rehabilitation.
“We’ve tried some new treatments and hopefully they can make a difference.
“My hamstrings are feeling good, and my body feels good and rested.
“The Manchester United game is the target, so hopefully we can make it happen.”
