Fellaini confirms Arsenal interest before Manchester United move

Marouane Fellaini has confirmed Arsenal were interested in signing him before he joined Manchester United in the summer.
Goal exclusively revealed in June that Arsene Wenger was plotting a £22 million bid for the former Everton man, but were only willing to offer a £70,000-a-week salary - less than his earnings at Goodison Park.
Fellaini eventually reunited with David Moyes at Old Trafford on deadline day, although the midfielder was coy on his links with Chelsea.
"I don't want to tell you everything what happened during the transfer," he said to beIN Sport. "This was done at the last minute.
"In a transfer window, there is always a list of players, you never know if it's true or not. But for me, I knew [Moyes] was interested in me.
"Chelsea? No comment. Arsenal? It's true, they were interested, but Manchester United convinced me to sign for them.
