‘Christmas doesn’t happen in July’ – Man United fans react on Twitter to Fellaini striking deal with Galatasaray
Turkish outlet Ajanspor reported yesterday that Galatasaray agreed personal terms with Manchester United midfielder Marouane Fellaini.
The news was soon picked up by the British press and on social media.
Fellaini has under 12 months on his deal and has yet to be offered an extension.
The 29-year-old divides opinion among United fans but he was part of the side that won the Europa League last season.

BREAKING: Sky sources understand that Man Utd have offered £15m to Galatasaray to sign Marouane Fellaini. The Turkish club wants £24m.

There appears to be a love, hate relationship between United fans and Fellaini. The powerful midfielder gets a lot of stick but he does have his admirers.
If Fellaini leaves, he can leave holding his head high. He was worth his fee in the end. Wouldn’t have won all of FA, EFL and EL without him

For all the criticism, Fellaini has always given 100% on the pitch. Limited ability but plenty of heart. Better than some divas today #mufc

Fellaini may not have the quality/intellect a United player must have, but certainly got the heart a United player must have.

Fellaini leaving will be a tragedy. We lose a striker, midfielder, a no. 10 and everything in one man. All rounder.

Now for the hate… warning if you happen to be a Fellaini fan, it does get pretty nasty.
Waking up to the best news I’ve heard for a while… Fellaini to Galatasaray for 5 years…#dontcomeback

We can add Smalling as a thank you gift after we pay the Fellaini to Galatasaray fee #MUFC

I will come all the way from India to personally escort him to Galatasaray

best signing of the transfer window if Fellaini gets sold to Galatasaray

Hell… Welcome to Fellaini https://t.co/XXrIR73bvL

Fellaini isn’t leaving people. Said before, the guy could survive a nuclear bomb. He’ll be here until he’s 40, outlasting everyone.

Would Jose ever let his star man go? the United manager could end up having the final say.
Galatasaray working on Fellaini bid apparently but it’s pointless even getting exited cause Jose Will never sell him ? #mufc

Who will replace Fellaini if he does leave? could Chelsea midfielder Matic end up at United this summer?
IF Fellaini is going to Galatasaray, you’d hope it’s because a midfield signing has already been secured.
— Nooruddean (@BeardedGenius) July 29, 2017
Matic will most likely be a Utd player in the next couple of days. Galatasary offered 10m for Fellaini, not sure if it’s been accepted
