From the Daily Express reports, Jose Mourinho is at present at odds with the Manchester United board concerning the contractual situation of midfielder Marouane Fellaini.

While Marouane Fellaini is yet to sway a section of the United faithful in spite of already being in his fifth season at Old Trafford, he definitely has the full faith of manager Jose Mourinho & as a result, the Portuguese tactician is looking to tie down the midfielder to a fresh contract at Old Trafford.

Fellaini is presently in the final year of his deal at United & Mourinho has made it clear that he wants the Belgian international to extend his stay at the club.

In recent times there were talks that Manchester were on the threshold of sealing the deal for Fellaini but in an update from the Daily Express, claims are being made that United hierarchy are wary of handing the former-Everton man a money-spinning new deal.

It’s being claimed that Fellaini’s wage demands of around £150,000-per-week is causing the club board concern & they are at present hesitant to bow down to such requests from the player’s representatives.

At the same time, Mourinho wants to see the deal taking place at all costs & this is believed to be creating friction between Mourinho & the club’s chiefs.
