Man Utd transfer news: Marouane Fellaini makes summer transfer choice
Marouane Fellaini is set to leave Manchester United in the summer

The midfielder has shown little appetite to sign a new deal and is out of contract at the end of the season.

Jose Mourinho looks set for a major summer overhaul of his squad with his side 13 points behind the champions elect Manchester City.

A midfielder has been identified as a priority, with Michael Carrick retiring in May while Fellaini looks destined to leave.

Recent reports have suggested that Monaco are pondering a move should Thomas Lemar, who is being tracked by Liverpool and Arsenal, head for the exit.

Besiktas were originally the frontrunners for Fellaini’s signature, but according to Italian newspaper Corriere dello Sport, the Belgian would rather join Roma.

Indeed, the paper claim the 30-year-old is “holding out for Roma” and hopes they join the race to sign him.

It is also suggested that he has admired their Serie A campaign to date where they are third in the table.

Although he has struggled to cement a starting spot under Mourinho this season, Fellaini is still expected to board the plane to Russia for the World Cup.

Meanwhile, United boosted their hopes of a second-placed finish after beating City 3-2 in a thriller at the Etihad earlier today.

United rallied from two down, with Paul Pogba grabbing a double before Chris Smalling steered home the winner.
