Marouane Fellaini rejects Arsenal to stay at Manchester United

Marouane Fellaini has agreed a new contract at Manchester United. Currently the Belgium international is on duty at the World Cup but he has accepted the Premier League club’s two-year deal. Now when Fellaini is secured, Manchester United are expected to look elsewhere instead od signing Marko Arnautovic. Mourinho will try to bring reinforcement to defense. According to a source close to Fellaini, the 30-year-old rejected a proposal from Arsenal to remain at Old Trafford. Fellaini made 47 appearances for United in his first season under the Portuguese manager “He’s a very important player for me, much more important than what you can imagine,” Mourinho said. “I feel weaker without Fellaini in my squad, it doesn’t matter if he is on the pitch or on the bench.”

Asked at Tuesday’s Belgium national team press conference if the uncertainty over his future was a worry for him Fellaini said: “No. Since a few months I am used to it. I am strong mentally to deal with it. But soon I will say where I will be playing next season.”
