Napoli rule out move for Marouane Fellaini

Manchester United midfielder Marouane Fellaini is not being chased by Rafa Benitez's side Napoli. The Belgian international had been linked with a move away from Old Trafford but it appears a move to the Serie A giants is not a viable option.

There had been talk that Fellaini was amongst a list of five names that Benitez wanted to bring to Naples before the start of the upcoming Serie A season, but reports from Italy today suggest otherwise.

The 26-year-old has struggled since joining Man Utd from Everton but newly appointed manager Louis Van Gaal has told the player that he will get a chance in the first team during pre-season as well as for the opening games of the season, so he will need to perform when given an opportunity.

Fellaini is said to be happy at Old Trafford and has himself indicated that he has no interest in a transfer to Italy.
