Manchester United are reportedly preparing to increase their bid for Everton full-back Leighton Baines.

Manager David Moyes had a bid of £12m rejected for his former star earlier in the summer.

Now, according to The Express, Moyes is ready to go back in for the England international, with Everton already searching for replacements.

Moyes wants to stamp his own authority on United and Baines will help him do that, especially with reported interest in Patrice Evra from Monaco.

The report also suggests that United are ready to meet Marouane Fellaini's release clause and are still not finished in their pursuit of Cesc Fabregas, despite the midfielder insisting that he is happy at Barcelona.
