Manchester United midfielder Marouane Fellaini has been closely linked with an exit from Old Trafford.

ITV Sport are now reporting that the Red Devils want to keep Fellaini on beyond the summer despite reports that Arsenal could be his next destination.

Fellaini is currently available on a free transfer as he will be out of contract at the end of the month.

The Belgium international has yet to sign a contract extension but the report claims United are still keen on reaching an agreement.

Arsenal are reported to be scheduled for talks with Fellaini’s representative according to Foot 365.

RMC Sport meanwhile report Fellaini only has two concrete offers, one from Besiktas and the other from an unnamed club in China.

Turkish-Football first reported Besiktas as meeting with Fellaini’s representatives last November.

The Istanbul giants were willing to offer €5m per-year on a four-year deal over the winter break.

The Black Eagles are in the market for a powerful midfielder after parting ways with Anderson Talisca this summer.

Fellaini will end a five-year stint at United if he does end up leaving over the summer.

The 30-year-old will compete for Belgium in the 2018 World Cup.
