Manchester United midfielder Marouane Fellaini will reveal a decision over his future on Sunday, saying there is no need to wait until the end of the World Cup .
The Belgium international will become a free agent on July 1 if it transpires that he has not signed a new contract at Old Trafford, and a move away from the club would bring his five-year stay in Manchester to an end.
Fellaini has been a divisive figure among United supporters since being signed by David Moyes in September 2013, making just 16 Premier League appearances in his first season at the club.
He enjoyed a brief renaissance under Jose Mourinho, playing 28 times in the top flight in 2016-17, but his opportunities were limited again the following season after Paul Pogba s arrival.
AC Milan sporting director Massimiliano Mirabelli said Fellaini could be a target for the Italian giants and the player did little to cool speculation over his next destination when speaking in Russia ahead of Belgium s Group G match against England on Thursday.
Fellaini told reporters: I want to be free in my head and that is why soon I will announce where I will play next season.
When asked whether he would make the announcement on July 1, the 30-year-old replied: Yes. There is no need to wait until the end of the World Cup.
Looking ahead to his country s final World Cup group game against the Three Lions, Fellaini suggested that his knowledge of the English game could give Belgium an advantage.
Fellaini was an unused substitute in Belgium s 3-0 victory over Panama, before featuring in the second half of the Red Devils 5-2 win over Tunisia.

If we want to go far in this World Cup we will need every player, he said. Everybody is ready to play, everybody wants to play.
I know the Premier League very well and many England players also. I am proud that more Belgium players followed in Vincent Kompany s and my footsteps and are doing great now in England.
It will be an interesting game against England but it will be a strange one also because both teams are qualified.
