According to BBC, the Belgian star can still join the Chinese club as the transfer window in that league does not close until 28 February. However, the Red Devils are refusing to reveal if the two clubs have reached an agreement for the forward.  Mourinho fought hard to land the former Everton player a contract extension last season, with United eventually relenting after being reluctant to hand him a two-year deal. But he does not fit in with the fluent and attacking brand of football introduced by Solskjaer.
