Fellaini and Baines: Everton reject Manchester United bid

 Everton have described Manchester United's £28m joint bid for Marouane Fellaini and Leighton Baines as "derisory and insulting".

Former Toffees boss David Moyes offered £16m for Fellaini, whose £23.5m release clause expired at the end of July.

United had a £12m bid for left-back Baines knocked back in June but have come back with the same offer.  "Those bids were rejected out of hand as derisory and insulting," said director of communications Alan Myers.

The offers came late last week and Myers added: "The club did not make public these details as it was vital Roberto Martinez's preparations for the opening game of the Premier League season were not disrupted in any way."

Both players started in Everton's 2-2 draw with Norwich on Saturday. - BBC Sports
