Unrepentant Moyes still on lookout for additions

Manchester United manager David Moyes has little sympathy for his Premier League counterparts getting wound up by the timing of transfer bids — because they can always say no.

Moyes’ successor as Everton boss, Roberto Martinez, was unhappy at United lodging a bid earlier this week for star duo Leighton Baines and Marouane Fellaini, claiming it was unusual for United to do business in such a manner.

Alan Pardew was even more annoyed that Arsenal made an offer for Newcastle midfielder Yohan Cabaye just hours before the Magpies’ opening Premier League game at Manchester City, triggering the France international’s withdrawal.
