Manchester United plan to make an improved offer for Everton pair Marouane Fellaini and Leighton Baines in the coming days. The Daily Mail says United are prepared to go to £35m for the Everton duo.
The Barclays Premier League champions had a joint offer of £28m turned down and described as 'derisory and insulting' by Everton yesterday.
With Everton setting a private valuation of £40m on the two players, United look set for a struggle that will in all likelihood last until the end of the transfer window.
