Man United player asking for €150.000-a-week extension
The Belgian international’s contract is, according to reports from the UK, up for renewal at the end of the season, and he is asking the Red Devils to fork out € 150.000 a week for his services.
The former Standard Liege and Everton player was signed by David Moyes for € 32.4 million in 2013, but his impact has been mixed.
Then again, the 29-year-old shined last season as a defensive central midfielder, and looks to keep his place under the Special One.
Mourinho values him a lot, enough to respond in July to interest from Galatasaray by cheekily quipping:
"It's easier for Galatasaray to get me than to get Marouane.If they need a manager, they can fire [Igor Tudor] and have a chance.
"But Marouane? Forget it. He is too important for me."
