Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho believes United’s last-gasp matchwinner, Maraoune Fellaini, will sign a new contract and continue to be a Reds player next year.

United’s towering Belgian powered above the visiting rearguard to head home an injury-time winner against Arsenal in a 2-1 win at Old Trafford on Sunday afternoon.

Fellaini is out of contract at the end of the season, but boss Mourinho believes the 30-year-old is willing to commit his future to the club after months of speculation.

"That’s why we want him to stay and that’s why I believe that he is going to stay."
