Manchester United have made a £15m bid
for Everton's Leighton Baines but the club
have rejected the offer, with the chairman,
Bill Kenwright, determined the full-back will
not be sold.
The move marks the first time United have
divided their interest in Baines and his team-
mate Marouane Fellaini.
Previously the manager, David Moyes, has
made joint offers for the left-back and
midfielder, with the most recent of these a
£36m valuation that was rejected.
While Baines may remain at Everton the
Belgian FA tweeted that Fellaini did not train
on Monday and would be joining up with the
national team later. Although there was no
explanation why, it may be that Fellaini and
his representatives were trying to close the
deal with United.
