Manchester United midfielder Marouane Fellaini has signed a new two-year contract at the club.

Fellaini, 30, was expected to leave the Premier League giants at the end of his current contract on June 30 but manager Jose Mourinho’s desire for him to stay has prompted the club to hand him a new two-year deal until 2020.

Marouane Fellaini joined the Red Devils from Everton in 2013 for £27m and has scored 20 goals in 156 appearances.

The Belgian star was former manager David Moyes’ first signing after the Scot replaced compatriot and club legend Sir Alex Ferguson.

He is presently with the Belgium squad at the ongoing FIFA World Cup tournament in Russia.
