Coleman not going to United

Everton manager Roberto Martinez rubbished claims Seamus Coleman is on his way to Manchester United and quipped it must be another player with the same name who is featured in speculation about a move to Old Trafford.

Recent reports suggested that the Ireland full-back, who is having his best season at Goodison Park and is the club’s second-highest scorer with seven goals, was in advanced talks to be reunited with former boss David Moyes in Manchester.

However, Martinez not only dismissed the speculation but said Everton were looking to reward the younger players who have progressed under his leadership with improved contracts in the close season.
