The Old Trafford side is reported to have made an opening bid for the Everton left-back Leighton Baines according to The Times.
David Moyes who was Baines last coach at Everton, could maybe tempt Baines to join the last season champions as he took over after Sir Alex retired last season.
A bid around £10-£12m would be enough to tempt the Toffees to sell their most effective performer even though Baines stated his willingness to remain at Everton.
Baines will know that a move to Man United will help in his push to unseat Ashley Cole from the left-back spot in Roy Hodgson’s England starting line-up, perhaps all the more relevant given the World Cup Finals in Brazil are less than a year away.
