Roberto Martinez rubbishes Fellaini move to Manchester United

Accrington Stanley v Everton - Pre Season Friendly

After several failed attempts to sign Cesc Fabregas from Barcelona, Manchester United seem to have set their sights on Everton midfielder Marouane Fellaini.

United boss David Moyes, who is also an ex-Everton manager, has targeted his ex-pupil. Fellaini has a £23.5 million buyout clause that expires on August 15.

Marouane Fellaini was signed by David Moyes in Everton in 2008. Fellaini has played 135 matches scoring 25 goals, reports ESPN FC.

Although Manchester United want to sign the Belgian, Everton boss Roberto Martinez rubbished all rumors. Martinez said: “There are no bids.

“When you read that someone is interested in someone, it doesn’t mean there is a bid on the table.

“Marouane has been working really hard and that’s all that matters.

“Headlines in the media happen at this time of the season unfortunately but it won’t distract me from the work we have to do. I’m not bothered at all.

“It is speculation in the media and you’ll never stop that.

“I’m only concentrating on having as strong a squad as possible for the start of the season. That’s all my concern is.”
