Manchester United coach David Moyes is set to make a new offer for left-back Leighton Baines with Antonio Valencia and £15 million pounds going in the other direction.
With the new season well underway, Moyes believes that he has spent enough time with the squad to tell that he is in desperate need of a quality left-back with Patrice Evra not up to scratch in recent weeks and Alexander Buttner who is currently his cover isn't good enough for the regular starting position.
