BOOKMAKERS believe Maurouane Fellaini’s move from Everton to Manchester United is odds-on to happen this summer.
The Daily Star have reported new boss David Moyes has been widely tipped to make big Belgian Fellaini one of his first United signings.
The Scot splashed out a club record £15m for Fellaini in 2008 and the purchase – one of the rare occasions Moyes has really broke the bank – has proven to be a shrewd one.
Fellaini earlier this week hinted he could be open to a departure but only “to a club where the manager really wants me”.

After a somewhat low-key introduction to life at United, playing only a bit-part role, Kagawa could well find himself a key component of the Premier League title defence under David Moyes, especially with reports of the rumoured departure of Wayne Rooney gaining momentum, and he possesses all the natural ability necessary to take on that creative midfield mantle with aplomb reported Sky Sport. ......Read more here......

West Bromwich Albion and Manchester United players formed a guard of honour as Sir Alex Ferguson took a warmly-received bow before kick-off. He has spent plenty of time on the grass this past week because he thinks it’s all over. After 1,500 United games, it seems safe to say: it is now.
West Brom’s match programme included a generous 40-page tribute to the Scot’s quarter century of service, which included an observation by Roy Hodgson to the effect that once Arsène Wenger steps down as well an era really will have ended, since it is difficult to imagine 20-year managerial reigns in the future. “You won’t see the likes of that again,” the England manager predicted. ......Read more here......
