Man United Star Delivers Huge Blow As He Tells Mourinho He Wants To Leave, Euro Giants In Talks

Manchester United midfielder Marouane Fellaini has reportedly told the club he wants to leave for a new challenge.

The Sun claim that Fellaini is set on leaving despite head coach Jose Mourinho being keen on him staying.

Per the source, the Belgium international turned down a new contract deal and is free to negotiate with clubs about a summer move.

Fellaini wants a new challenge, not a new contract but will stay at the club until the end of the season.

Mourinho has publically backed Fellaini several times this season but the midfielder himself does not feel he gets enough game time.

Ironically Fellaini could end up joining the same club Mourinho said had more chance signing him than the player.

Galatasaray and Besiktas have been in talks with the midfielder.

Turkish-Football sources have already reported Besiktas holding several rounds of talks with Fellaini’s representatives.

Fanatik meanwhile recently reported that Galatasaray have stepped up efforts to sign the midfielder after having efforts thwarted by Mourinho over the summer.

“It’s easier for Galatasaray to get me than to get Maroaune,” Mourinho was quoted as saying by Goal over the summer.

Both sides do not want to pay a transfer fee in January but are keen on signing Fellaini as a free agent.

Fellaini has started just four games this season and reportedly feels he is undervalued in the English game.

The 29-year-old made 47 appearances last season playing a crucial role in the Europa League winning campaign.
