Everton block fresh £36m bid for Fellaini and Baines from Man United

EVERTON have rejected an improved £36million offer for Marouane Fellaini and Leighton Baines from champions Manchester United.

The bid, tabled earlier this week, sees Fellaini priced at the value of his £23.5m buy-out clause, which expired on July 31 but kicks back in on January 1, and Baines at just over £12m.

It was immediately turned down, after a £28m joint bid two weeks ago, despite both wanting to leave.
