Man United transfer news: Mourinho urges Ed Woodward to offer midfielder contract

Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho has urged chief executive Ed Woodward to offer Marouane Fellaini a new contract.

The Belgium international’s future at Old Trafford has been cast in doubt. Fellaini will have just 12 months remaining on his contract this summer.

Fellaini has also attracted the attention of Turkish giants Trabzonspor. The Turkish Super Lig giants are keen to sign the 29-year-old to mark their 50th anniversary.

However, Man United boss Jose Mourinho is a fan of the combative midfielder. According to the, Belgian sports newspaper HLN, Mourinho wants United to extend Fellaini’s contract by a year.

Per the source, Mourinho has been impressed with Fellaini’s performances this season.

The Portuguese tactician previously triggered a clause in Fellaini’s contract back in January to keep him at the club until summer 2018.

Fellaini has one assist and four goals to his name after 45 appearances for Manchester United this term. The Red Devils take on Ajax in the Europa League final later this month.
