Manchester United have reportedly revived their interest in Everton left-back Leighton Baines and will make a bid for the 27-year-old next summer.
According to the Daily Mail, the Red Devils have conceded defeat in the race to sign defender Ashley Cole, who will reportedly leave Chelsea for Paris Saint-Germain at the end of the season.
United were keen to sign Baines in the summer but manager Sir Alex Ferguson refused to pay £15m for the England international and signed 23-year-old Alexander Buttner from Vitesse instead.
However, Ferguson is now reportedly keen to recruit Baines and replace Frenchman Patrice Evra in his team with the former Wigan Athletic player.
