Manchester United midfielder Marouane Fellaini said that he is not yet ready to end his career at the Old Trafford but admitted that he will not rule out a possible move to China in the future.

Fellaini, 29, has been linked to a China top-flight transfer as recent rumors went out that his agent has offered him to several teams in the Chinese Super League. Tianjin Quanjian manager Fabio Cannavaro disclosed that Fellaini was presented to the newly-promoted CSL side during the recent winter transfer window, but the Italian mentor turned down the offer because he was not looking for a player like Fellaini.

Asked whether the rumors of a possible move to the Far East are true, Fellaini said that it is not his priority at the moment but he will keep himself open to the possibility, as per Sports Mole.

Fellaini confessed, though, that he believes his international career will immediately be over as soon as he decides to come to China. "But I am honest, if I am going to China, it is finished for me the national team," he said.

The Belgium international has been playing for his national team since 2007. At the moment, De Rode Duivels are fifth in the FIFA World Rankings, three spots down from their standing last year.

In the same interview, Fellaini also praised his current Manchester United boss, Jose Mourinho, for believing in him and making him an integral part of his rotation.

"He (Mourinho) could have killed me, but no, he defended me," Fellaini said with regards to his Portuguese mentor and his recent mistakes on the pitch, via the Mirror. "He protected me, I will never forget him, he must have had the rage after my penalty at Everton but he did not tell me when he returned to the locker room."

Fellaini is in his fourth season with the Red Devils after he joined the team in the summer of 2013 from Premier League rivals Everton. He has so far appeared in a total of 116 games in all competitions for United and had scored 13 goals in the process.
