The Belgian and Manchester United midfielder continues to remain a divisive figure among the club faithful and football fans alike. Known for his ball retention ability and aerial threat, he is used as a utility player at the club.

The 30-year-old is eager for consistent playing time and might opt to leave United in January or in the summer for free.

With his contract running out in the summer, it would make sense for the club to cash in on him and invest the funds in a defensive midfielder who could be at the club for a number of years. However, Mourinho is keen to hold onto the player as he can be impact player against any side.

The Belgian will have a number of suitors looking to acquire his services in January and in the summer and will be interesting to see how United deal with the issue.
