MARKO ARNAUTOVIC has revealed he rejected a move to Everton - despite personal pleas from Toffees boss Ronald Koeman and striker Romelu Lukaku.

"I know what we would like to do but we will wait to see if it is possible", said Koeman of his recruitment plans. I know English football people say you have to look out for young players, that maybe they can play 15 or 20 games but not more.

United take on Burnley at Turf Moor this afternoon (2.15pm) knowing a win would take them within one point of the top four.

Their need has only intensified after Zlatan Ibrahimovic suffered a nasty knee injury in their win over Anderlecht in the Europa League.

They have been drawn against Spanish side Celta Vigo in the semi-finals, with the first leg tie taking place on May 4. But we would like to try to do everything to keep him at Everton next season.

However, Koeman has no intentions of bolstering his squad with a huge number of new arrivals in the summer in order to cope with the increased demands and will instead look to manage his resources.

But overall, Kaiser projects that silver plan premiums would increase about 23%, to an average of $532 a month. Nita Lowey - the ranking Dem on the Appropriations Committee - flatly declared: "We are not building a wall".

While form alone implies Lukaku will be vital - he has directly contributed to 50 percent of Everton's 60 league goals this season, scoring 24 and assisting another six - his record against Saturday's opponents is remarkable.

"I am talking to the owners every week". We are doing everything we can to hold on to top players.

"If someone's interested they'll call the board of the club and they'll speak about it but we want to keep him". A year ago 68 would have been enough to land 4 place, but this season it looks like we will need to win that last game against Arsenal to secure 6.

"If we really want, we can make the players stick to their contract".

The Blues have played 16 away games so far this season, winning 4, drawing 5 and losing 7 for a total of 17 points, which is only 9th best in the League, compared to table toppers Chelsea who have 36 points away from Stamford Bridge. Arsenal and United also have to play each other before the season is out.

"I have been there as a player too".
