With a transfer deal for nine million euros on the table, and a contract that's up on June 30, 2018, it seems almost certain that Marouane Fellaini will leave Manchester United in January to join Besiktas.
The Belgian will follow the likes of Pepe, Quaresma and Negredo to the Turkish club, but his loss won't please Jose Mourinho, who has come to rely on the player at critical moments.
Seven matches played to date this season, with three goals scored, the 'red devils' will lose a player, though awkward in style, still has the capacity to affect matches.
His position is well covered with Ander Herrera, Matic, Carrick and Blind also able to play there, whilst Mkhitaryan and Mata are in the more advanced positions.
Among the possible arrivals, the Mirror highlights an interest in the Brazilian midfielder of Shakhtar Donestk, Fred.
He has caught the attention of several clubs in England, with United among them.
