Marouane Fellaini set to be offered new two-year contract by Manchester United boss Jose Mourinho
Belgian midfielder will get a new deal at Old Trafford if he impresses the new boss over the coming months
JOSE Mourinho is ready to hand Manchester United flop Marouane Fellaini a two-year contract extension.
The United boss has spoken to the Belgian midfielder and told him he will get new terms if he delivers over the coming months.
The 28-year-old ex-Everton ace appeared to be heading for an Old Trafford exit after a poor three-years at the club.
But he has two-years left on his current £110,000-a-week deal, and is well-liked by Mourinho.
A United source said: "Jose is on record that Marouane has to win over the fans with his performances.
"He likes him a lot, and thinks that he is a very good player and useful to the team and the squad.

"There will be no rush and United will wait for the nod by Jose, which could be at renewal time around Christmas.
"It could be a remarkable turnaround for him, as he looked to be on his way out of the club this summer."
Fellaini signed a five-year contract with United in 2013 after joining for around £27.5m.
He received rave reviews for his performance in the Red Devils 3-1 win over Bournemouth last Sunday.
The former Standard Liege star has scored seven goals in 61 appearances for United.
