MANCHESTER UNITED have not launched any fresh raids for Everton duo Leighton Baines and Marouane Fellaini, according to Roberto Martinez.
The talented pair have both been linked with moves to join former boss David Moyes at Old Trafford, who bid for Baines last month.
But Moyes’ replacement in the Goodison Park hotseat insists there have been no new bids for either player.
Asked if there had been any activity, Martinez said: “Not at all.
"And I know that probably that’s not something that you want to hear but it’s clearly what it’s been in the last two or three weeks.
“Everyone is really focused to try to fight for that starting spot at the beginning of the season. The competitive level in this group is quite impressive.
“I wouldn’t want to stop the speculation, I do think the speculation is healthy.
“If we’ve got clubs talking about our players, I’ll take it as a compliment because the players have been impressing and doing really well.
“But we are in a great position financially and we want to start the season with the best possible squad that we have, and for that we have to work extremely hard.”
When asked if he was surprised the club have not received another bid for Baines, Martinez added: “The last concern I have is what other clubs are doing.
