As reported by the Daily Mail, Marouane Fellaini could be set for a Manchester United exit this January with West Ham and Sunderland both interested in his services.

What's the word?

After his disastrous cameo appearance on Sunday away to Everton, Man United fans could finally be seeing the back of one of their most inconsistent performers, Marouane Fellaini.

The Mail report that Man United are willing to listen to offers for him this January, but will not consider letting him leave Old Trafford on loan.

Incredibly, according to the report, David Moyes is looking at signing Fellaini for the third time in his career, hoping to bring him to the Stadium of Light in Sunderland. Slaven Bilic's West Ham are also interested.

With Man United hoping to command a fee of up to £20m, Fellaini would likely take a big chunk out of both managers' January budgets.

Has he been that bad for United?

Fellaini has never convinced the Old Trafford faithful that he can be the midfield star they need to challenge for Premier League silverware.

A recent stat published by Squawka only highlighted his poor contribution to United over the last couple of years further.

The midfielder did play a starring role for Everton during his five seasons at Goodison Park and that form did of course come under Moyes, so West Ham and Sunderland fans shouldn't be too perplexed about his potential signing.

A move back to under the guidance of Moyes could well end up being the making of Fellaini again and with Sunderland locked in another relegation battle, they need all hands on deck.
