Marouane Fellaini shares snap at airport en route to China

Marouane Fellaini shared a picture on his Instagram story at Brussels Airport as he prepared to jet off to China and seal his move to Shandong Luneng Taishan.

The Manchester United midfielder has already passed a medical and will join the club for a transfer fee of £10.4million and wage of £235,000.

He wrote: 'Let's go', on a picture alongside his brother Hamza, agent Karim Mejjati and another member of his entourage.

Fellaini flew from Belgium as he has been receiving treatment for a calf muscle injury in Antwerp this week.

He appeared to be excited about the move and will no doubt be looking forward to a starring role after being left out in the cold by Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.

The interim Manchester United boss has not shared the same affection for Fellaini that Jose Mourinho had and the Belgian has only played 31 minutes under the new manager.

And the 31-year-old will also have a hefty pay bump as he begins a new chapter in the far east.

Forbes magazine list Shandong as the fifth most valuable football team in the country.

Based in Jinan, eastern China, their home stadium is the Jinan Olympic Sports Centre Stadium and has a capacity of 56,808.
