Manchester United This didn’t need to be said, and it really doesn’t represent David Moyes at his best: ‘I definitely do. But I also know that if I was the Everton manager and Sir Alex had come asking for Baines and Fellaini, I would have found it very difficult to keep them. I always felt the right thing to do was what was right […]

Roberto Martinez has been busy. Rather than ease himself into his new job at Goodison Park, the Spaniard has gone on the offensive in the transfer market.
