Marouane Fellaini has confirmed crunch talks with Manchester United boss Louis van Gaal over his future. The Belgian midfielder was linked with a cut-price move to Napoli during the transfer window.

But an ankle injury put a move away from Old Trafford on hold and the 26-year-old will remain at United until at least January.

Fellaini said: "Van Gaal has told me that there is a lot of competition. Now it is up to me to prove myself."
