Man Utd star open to China move this summer

Belgian midfielder Marouane Fellaini is open to the prospect of leaving Manchester United during the summer transfer window.

The 29-year-old is currently contracted to United until the summer of 2018 after the club activated the one-year option on his existing deal.

Fellaini had tried to push through a transfer to the Chinese Super League during the backend of the previous month, but his attempts failed as the elite clubs had completed their business well ahead of the Chinese transfer deadline.

According to The Sun, the former Evertonian has not ruled out a lucrative move with his agent still discussing suitable terms with clubs in the Far East.

Apart from Fellaini, club captain Wayne Rooney could also head to China while Michael Carrick is said to be mulling over retirement rather than a big payday.

Fellaini has been largely a squad player since the start of the campaign, but he could be in line for a start against Rostov in the Europa League, last 16, first-leg on Thursday night.
