Jose Mourinho insists it will be easier for him to leave for Galatasary than midfielder Marouane Fellaini.
This follows the Turkish giants publicly revealing that they had made an offer for the Belgian and that the deal was close to completion.
"Fellaini will leave Manchester United and he is now in our radar," Ergun (Galatasary director) was quoted as saying by Ajansspor . "There will be surprises, we are in talks with Fellaini.
"We have made an approach, we are close and if we get Fellaini we will end our pursuit of [Villarreal's Alfred] N'Diaye.
"We need a player like Fellaini who can move around in midfield."
After a strong display in midfield that was highlighted by the first goal against Valerenga, Fellaini appears set to stay for a fourth year in United colours.
Fellaini scored the first goal against Valerenga with a towering header.
He may not have the support of everyone but at least he can count on the boss assuring words yesterday after the match.
"It's easier for Galatasaray to get me then to get Marouane," he said in his post-match press conference.
"If they need a manager, they can fire [Igor Tudor] and have a chance.
"But Marouane? Forget it. He is too important for me."
Many have made fun of Jose Mourinho's continued support of Fellaini
Fellaini made a total of 47 appearances under Mourinho last season and despite some awful moments, he still scored important goals in our run to the EFL Cup and Europa League glory.
With Chelsea midfielder Nemanja Matic all but having signed for United, it appears, United are now fully stocked in midfield and ready to challenge on all fronts in the new season.
