Fellaini told Eleven Sports: "Jose is special for me. We text each other, we call each other from time to time.

"He's taken over at Spurs and he's doing well. I wish him all the best, but I am good where I am now."

But with Shandong Luneng reportedly open to letting him leave this summer a move back to England is a possibility.

Mourinho has always been vocal in his support of the Belgian, once saying: "I think everyone knows Marouane is not Maradona but everyone knows what Marouane can give."
