Everton defender Leighton Baines says that it is "flattering" to be linked with Manchester United.

Everton defender Leighton Baines has said that he is flattered by speculation linking him with Manchester United.

The 27-year-old PFA left-back of the year has emerged as a reported top target for the Red Devils this summer.

While Baines concedes that it is nice to be linked with such a great club, he insists that he is completely focused on England's upcoming Euro 2012 campaign.

He said: "The United link is flattering. There is no harm in people talking about it because it is a great club.

"But I'm at a great club as well, a club that I love. The focus now is all on the tournament. There's not much time to let other things seep in.

"It's about getting your head on this job for the next six weeks and try to do the best you can. I'm not letting my focus shift to [my future] while I am in camp. I'm focused on what I'm doing at the moment."

Baines, who is Ashley Cole's understudy in the Three Lions setup, has been capped eight times by his country.
