Manchester United is holding discussions with Napoli on a sale of Marouane Fellaini.

Fellaini was bought last summer by United from Everton for £27.5 million under David Moyes.

United prefers to sell Fellaini and any fee in the region of £15 million would be considered a win in recouping the initial transfer fee.

Fellaini’s disgruntlement at his troubled year at United was evident at the World Cup when he was asked about his Old Trafford experience. “I have played eight years as a professional, so I don’t need to prove [anything],” he said. “I always believed in myself.”
