Belgium midfielder, Marouane Fellaini, is on his way out of Manchester United as the Premier League outfit are reportedly in talks with a Chinese club.

The name of the club concerned has not been revealed but the Chinese transfer window does not close until 28 February.

United are refusing to say whether a fee has been agreed for the player.

Fellaini, 31, was the first major signing of the post Sir Alex Ferguson era, joining for £27.5m on deadline day in the 2013 summer transfer window.

The Belgian has never won over the United fans, even though he was regularly selected by David Moyes, Louis van Gaal and Jose Mourinho.

He allowed his contract to run out at the end of last season but subsequently signed a new two-year deal that is not due to expire until 2020.

The 2018 World Cup semi-finalist has fallen the pecking order under Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, playing just 31 minutes since the Norwegian was installed as United interim boss.

His international team-mate, Mousa Dembele, left Tottenham to sign for Chinese Super League club, Guangzhou R&F, earlier this month.
