David Moyes has already gone back to former club Everton and brought Belgian midfielder Marouane Fellaini to Old Trafford with him. He will surely try to lure the Toffees left back again in January after missing out on Baines in the summer. Just call him mister consistency because Premier League fans will seldom recall Baines having many bad games in several years. A £15 million switch to United would complete a remarkable rise through the ranks of English football that started for him at Tranmere Rovers and took in Wigan Athletic as well. Simply put Baines is the best player in his position playing in the Premier League today. The Red Devils always strive to have that on their books. His performances on international duty with England last month have also led to widespread clamour for Baines to displace Ashley Cole. The Champions League challenge, winning major trophies and playing at a World Cup are the next logical goals for Baines. A move to United for the set piece specialist would more than likely result in them being achieved. Everton's loyal servant should snap the hand off Moyes when the inevitable January offer comes in. Nobody would begrudge Baines the opportunity to play at the highest level in his prime.
