Thursday’s Toffee Bites: Everton love Manchester United’s leftovers

Everton and Manchester United have quite the transfer relationship, don’t they? United sends players they don’t really want anymore to the Blues, like Tom Cleverley, Morgan Schneiderlin and an over-the-hill Wayne Rooney. In return, Everton sends their best players to Old Trafford every few years, like Romelu Lukaku, Marouane Fellaini and an up-and-coming Rooney.

Seems fair!
