Manchester United midfielder Marouane Fellaini is a transfer target for AC Milan

AC Milan are interested in signing Manchester United's Marouane Fellaini, according to Sky in Italy.

The Italian club are understood to be targeting the 28-year-old but could be put off by United's reported asking price of £19m for the midfielder.

According to media reports in Italy, Milan's joint chief executive Adriano Galliani will meet with Fellaini's agent Luciano D'Onofrio this week, with the preferred option in the transfer window being a loan move.

The Belgium international had a hand in Wayne Rooney's winner at Anfield on Sunday and has scored twice in 21 appearances for United this season.

The Old Trafford club paid £27.5m for his services in September 2013 when David Moyes signed him from Everton, where the pair shared a dressing room for five years.
