£40m Chelsea transfer could mark exit for Man United star
Manchester United midfielder Marouane Fellaini has been closely linked with a summer move this weekend.
Fellaini did travel with the United squad to Oslo, Norway for the friendly against Valerenga.
The Belgium international scored the opening goal in the 3-0 victory. Galatasaray are however, still confident of their chances to sign the 29-year-old.
The Red Devils are on the verge of signing Chelsea midfielder Nemanja Matic for £40 million according to the BBC.
Matic would be likely to move ahead of Fellaini in the pecking order. If the Belgium international were to leave, United will already have a replacement – if the Matic deal goes ahead as planned.
