The 27-year-old has gone from strength to strength since joining the Toffees in 2007, and reports on Twitter this week suggest the Red Devils are ready to launch a bid for the pacey wingman.

Baines, though, insists there is no reason for the blue half of Merseyside to fret over his future, and says he is committed to the club, and leading them back to European football.

"I'm not that into Twitter but I would say not to be worried," Baines told Sky Sports News.

"There have been a few windows and a few rumours and there's nothing to worry about.

"There's a lot of lads here who have been at the club for a long time now and we want to bring it (European cup football) not just for ourselves and our own ambitions but for the other people at the club, the manager, the chairman, the fans.

"It would be a massive achievement for us if we could get those European nights back at Goodison.

"Although there's a lot of hard work and a lot of other clubs scrapping for that fourth spot, we'd like to think that if we can get our form back on track we could be one of them."
