Report: Man Utd want Baines

Manchester United are reportedly planning a bid for Everton defender Leighton Baines.

Baines has established himself as one of the finest full-backs in the Premier League and was voted Everton's Player of the Year last month.

The left-back was brought to the Blues from Wigan Athletic by the then Blues manager David Moyes in 2007 and the Scot wants to bring him to Old Trafford this summer, according to the Daily Mail.

A recent report claimed that Patrice Evra is a target for AS Monaco and Moyes sees Baines as the ideal replacement.

The 27-year-old started in England's 2-2 draw with Brazil on Sunday but came off injured in the first half.
