Manchester United manager, Jose Mourinho has stated that he wants midfielder, Marouane Fellaini to sign a new deal with the club and extend his stay.
Mourinho said this after United beat Arsenal 2-1 on Sunday at the Old Trafford in the Premier League.
Midfielder, Paul Pogba opened the scoring for the home team in the 16th minute, while former Red Devils player, Henrikh Mkhitaryan scored the equaliser in the 51st minute.
United, however, got a late goal through Marouane Fellaini in stoppage time to give Jose Mourinho’s side the deserved three points.
“I think so [that Fellaini will stay]. I think a player that grabs the crest after scoring is telling clearly that he wants to stay”, Mourinho told the BBC.
“I want him to stay, the club wants him to stay, I think he will stay, it is nearly there,” he added.
Fellaini is out of contract at the club in the summer and is being courted by several sides.
The Belgium international has options in a number of countries, including Italy and Turkey if he wishes to leave the Red Devils.
United are back in action on Friday evening, travelling to Brighton in their bid to secure their second-placed finish this season.
