Go on then. Because all you have done so far is ask me who I am (which is weird), say that I don't make any decisions (even weirder) and say that everyone on this forum should be quiet and leave it to the manager (weirder still). You genuinely seem to be struggling with the concept of a discussion forum.
I asked you who you were?

Is it only Galatasaray who are interested in him or are there any other clubs who are reportedly interested? :(

Hes being paid as a 30m panic buy/first teamer. A player with that salary should cover a much bigger role then that of a squad player
So anyone over 100k, not in the first XI every week should be sold and replaced with someone on cheaper wages?
And if he wants to stay and sign a new contract, the club could negotiate a new wage

If there's 25M on the table for Fellaini I think we have to take it.

Pogba-Herrera-Signing-Pereira-Carrick is definitely risking it, but if we play a lot of 2 man midfields with Mata or Mkhitaryan as a 10, then it's not insane.
There won't be anything near £25m. It's Trabzonspor. Fellaini is their fallback option for a player they're unwilling to pay £6m for.

More like Matic and dendoncker.
1 of them would do, need an attacking CM

Matic/Dendoncker
Herrera........................Pogba

Mensah/Tuanzebe
Pereira.....................Sanches

+ Carrick​

Yes especially if the player in question is being played in a different role because he is not good enough to play in his natural role. United need a dm. Fellaini is not a dm

This would be better news than Mou dropping Rooney last season or us signing Pogba or Lukaku at the time, is be delighted if he signed for Trabs.

The guys bloody useless, it's mortifying to see him in a Utd shirt. This will be his 5th season, how he can possibly have racked up so many seasons with us is beyond a joke.

People on here are complaining about us being in for Dier and then we've got this joker turning out for us, the sooner he's out the door the better.

I don't want him to leave. Even if he's not good, he has a winning mentality and provides something unexpected for the opposition to handle.

This would be a step in the right direction. I quite like Fellaini, too, but it's time to move on.

The only way Jose would let him go is if we already have something lined up otherwise it won't happen

Actually just looked he's on 80k. But Fellaini plays in multiple roles, so dont even know what point you are trying to make about a DM. Hes essentially a utility player

We aren't letting him go. We aren't an all conquering United side with talented players in abundance. When and if we become one, we can resume our nauseating celebration of a player linked to a move away from the club.

That same line is always used when someone gets a bit precious about some of the more shite members of the squad. Opposing views are not allowed apparently.

Anyway that would be awesome news if Galatasaray can take him off our hands. Couldn't care less about the fee.

To be honest I find it sad that some are saying , good , glad he is going, blessing in disguise and the worst for me , he is not a United player.
He has done a very good job here, he was never going to score a bucket load of goals, but when asked he is performed.
We would not have won the EL last season if not for him in the Final, I doubt many will agree but there you go.

Not even going to sugarcoat it, I don't like him and him leaving will make me as happy as if we signed a new player. Won't happen though

If Jose didn't want him, he'd have gone already.

Who knows but don't think so. I know the hate out there for him but he's had some key moments that would keep any manager thinking he's worth coming off the bench. We are ridiculously light in midfield and unless we have one coming in plus another to replace him going.....look what's left!!!! Carrick can't play weekly, Pereira remains untested in the PL and should Pog or Herrera get injured, we are in big trouble.

He's been a consistently mediocre player during a period of 4 years playing some of the worst football I've ever seen a team play. The sooner we move on dross like him and bring in real talent, the better. You however are welcome to celebrate his achievements as a United player.

If our all time top goalscorer got loads of stick, what chance do you think Fellaini has?

If he does go and we dont replace him , we will regret letting him leave.
If he goes you can be sure he'll replaced 100%. Fellaini has done well in the last few months but honestly if he leaves, I won't be sad. He belongs to a category of players that shouldn't play for Man Utd anymore.

Hes 29, hes not particularly mobile, he lack positioning or football iq and hes at the end of his contract. If matic is signed then its only fair for mou to replace the belgian with a younger dm with less salary and more fuel the tank to learn from matic

Yeah. I understand he's situationally valuable, but we're up a creek if we have to consistently deploy him as an actual midfielder in the event of a major Pogba or Herrera injury. If he leaves, I imagine it'll be because Jose has identified another midfield target to replace him.

Mensah needs a year or two on loan. Tuanzebe is a dc

Dm: leander, matic
B2b:herrera, pogba
No 10: Mata, periera,

I wouldnt mind if we also add sanches (loan + minimum fee)

I'd be heartbroken if this were true. He's my favourite player, albeit for purely hipster reasons. He's the man everyone loves to hate. Our dear afroman.
This would only make sense if you were a rival fan, he's a poor footballer, we are better off without him.
Assuming his replacement is walking through the door asap

I like him. He has been absolutley committed, offers a very unique tactical option and has delivered many match winning performances.

He has been treated shamefully and badly by some fans. I will be sad to see him go and dont think there is a better altrenative available.

If we allow him to leave without a replacement ready I'll be very concerned

I can see what you mean, but lets be honest in the past 4 years our style of play has not been great and if we had been a team playing quality football and had a team of world class players he would not have got a game, but we have been poor and he fitted in.

The exciting thing about him leaving is the fact that we're almost certainly going to be replacing him. Mourinho used him quite a bit last season so he found him very useful, so him selling Fellaini can only mean we're getting a new DM :drool::drool:

I'd be annoyed if he leaves. I want him to be here when we next win the league, in an exorcism kind of way.

I'd be pleased to see him leave IF we're buying 2 midfielders.
