Fellaini’s potential Man United exit worries Jose Mourinho

Manchester United boss Jose Mourinho admitted that he was concerned about the prospect of losing Marouane Fellaini considering the midfielder’s contract talks with the club haven’t reached a fruitful end yet.

Speaking ahead of his side’s Premier League match against Brighton on Saturday, Mourinho revealed that he was not part of the discussions that would tie the midfielder to a new deal at the club.

Fellaini is understood to want a longer contract than the one that he is currently being offered by the United board. In January, Fellaini will be free to talk to foreign clubs as he enters the final six months of his current deal.
