 The Belgium international has agreed a deal to join Chinese outfit Shandong Luneng

 It's understood that the former Everton and Standard Liege man has already undergone a medical and that his move to the far east is close to being announced

 As Fellaini's time in English football draws to a close, those who have seen him play and have come across him have been sharing their thoughts on the soon-to-be former Manchester United ace

 Belgian journalist shared one of his many encounters with Fellaini on Twitter earlier this month, which revealed a friendlier side to the combative midfielder

 "One anecdote about Marouane Fellaini," HLN's Premier League correspondent wrote

 "After the interview I did with him in May 2013 he spontaneously offered to help the photographer with carrying the heavy cases and material to his car

That sums him up a bit." Fellaini, who penned a new two-year deal at Old Trafford last summer, was the first signing of the ill-fated David Moyes

 As such, he often lambasted by United fans when the team were struggling for results

 However, he leaves the club with a more than stellar record for a player of his nature, scoring 24 goals and picking up 14 assists in 141 appearances for the Red Devils

 Manchester United's first game of post-Fellaini era will see them take on Leicester City at the King Power Stadium on Sunday afternoon

 The Red Devils go into the match on the back of a 2-2 draw with relegation-threatened Burnley

 Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's men will be desperate for a win in order to keep their hopes of Champions League football alive
