Manchester United and Chelsea are thought to be ready to table bids in the race to sign Everton midfielder James McCarthy, however Roberto Martinez insists the 23-year-old is not for sale.
Scouts from both United and Chelsea have been spotted at the Toffees pre-season fixtures but boss Martinez is keen to keep the Scotland international in Liverpool.
"I'm not surprised if people are being complimentary about him, but his future is clearly at Everton," Martinez told the press this week.
However, with both Louis Van Gaal and Jose Mourinho believing McCarthy could be one for the future, Martinez could be fighting a losing battle.
