Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho is reportedly "desperate" to keep hold of Marouane Fellaini beyond the expiration of his current contract this summer, but Daley Blind could be allowed to leave the club as rumours of Barcelona's interest swirl.
Mourinho has previously referred to Fellaini as an essential part of his squad, and ESPN (h/t Daily Star'sCallum Vurley) reported the Portuguese tactician has been given a boost by the United board offering the player a new deal.
It's been known for some time that the Red Devils are struggling to convince Fellaini to stay, however.
