Belgian midfielder Marouane Fellaini has signed a contract extension at Manchester United until June 2020, with the option of a further year.

Responding to the news in a statement, Fellaini said: “I am pleased to be continuing my journey as a Manchester United player. I made this decision because I am very happy here.

“Also, I feel like this team, under Jose, still has a lot we want to achieve. I would like to say a special thank you to Jose for the faith he has always shown in me.

“My focus now is on the World Cup and I am looking forward to a successful season ahead.”

Manchester United boss Jose Mourinho said: “I am very happy Marouane is staying with us.

“I always believed in his desire to stay with the club and I am delighted that he has signed a new contract.”

Fellaini was critical of United’s approach to contract negotiations in May, saying they were “wrong” not to offer him an extension sooner, adding that he was “open to everything” when asked about interest from other clubs
