Manchester United fans believe the latest rumours linking Marouane Fellaini with Galatasaray mean the long-awaited Nemanja Matic transfer may finally be on.

Reports in Turkey suggest Fellaini is nearing a move to Galatasaray after four largely disappointing seasons at Old Trafford for the former Everton man.

It is no secret that Jose Mourinho wants to strengthen in midfield this summer, and with the likes of Eric Dier and Fabinho also targeted this summer, it makes sense that Fellaini has been seen as one player who can make way.

The 29-year-old was the first signing of the ill-fated David Moyes era, and fans are now hopeful that he is set to be replaced by a major upgrade in the middle.

Chelsea’s Matic looks to be Mourinho’s priority at the moment, and it could be that Fellaini’s exit will finally pave way for the move to be completed…
