Marouane Fellaini Agrees Move Away From Manchester United

Marouane Fellaini's time at Manchester United appears to be up.

Jose Mourinho continues to tinker his squad by drafting in new talent - such as Alexis Sanchez in January, while trimming players deemed surplus to requirement.

While defenders Chris Smalling and Phil Jones are subject to debate following their abysmal showing at St. James Park, another name remains under mounting scrutiny.

Fellaini.

And reports are claiming he's already agreed a move away from Old Trafford.

According to Turkish outlet Fotomac via Talk Sport, Felliani will join Besiktas at the end of the season.

He's out of contract in the summer with Besiktas set to acquire the Belgium international on a free transfer.

In the process fending off competition from fellow Turkish giants Fenerbahce and Galatasaray.

Fellaini has played just 12 Premier League games for United this season, sparking interest from around Europe.

As well as Turkey, clubs in Italy and Spain including Sevilla have also reportedly expressed a desire to sign the 30-year-old.

Fellaini will likely be selected for Belgium's World Cup campaign, and following the footballing showpiece in the summer, he'll link up with his new teammates in Turkey.

If the move to the Super Lig transpires, it'll end Fellaini's 11 season stint in England's top flight.

United signed Fellaini from Everton in 2013 for a reported £27.5 million, reuniting with former manager David Moyes.

During his time at United, he's raised the FA Cup, League Cup, Europa League and Community Shield.

How will Fellaini fare in the Turkish league?
