The latest reports emerging from England are claiming that Manchester United have taken the decision to trigger the one year extension option in Marouane Fellaini’s contract.
The Belgian has had a love-hate relationship with the Manchester United faithful, but seems to have turned a corner with his goal in the 2-0 win over Hull City in the League Cup semi-final at Old Trafford.
Fellaini has been linked with a January move away from the club but now, contrary to these reports, news of United extending Fellaini’s deal have emerged, something which has not gone down well with United fans.
What? Fellaini is going to extend his contract? I’m done.

Mourinho legit said Fellaini is an important player to him,I think its high time we face the ugly reality that Fellaini is going nowhere yet

Ok so Fellaini extended contract he won’t start in regular 11 but he’s good squad player so wind your Knecks in and give lad a break

While one Manchester United fan gave a rather interesting opinion on the matter.
Looks like we’ve taken up the final yr of Fellaini’s contract. Good for him but IMO purely securing a better fee this summer. Just opinion.
