Everton disgusted by Manchester United's double bid

A statement on the Toffees' official website has claimed that the club have rejected a bid from Manchester United for two of their star players in Leighton Baines and Marouane Fellaini.

The Premier League champions had made a bid in the region of £28m, but it was rejected by the Merseyside outfit branding the offer as "derisory and insulting".

The statement read : "Everton can confirm that it has received bids from Manchester United for two players. Those bids were immediately rejected out of hand as derisory and insulting.
