Everton midfielder Marouane Fellaini has handed in an official transfer request, Sky sources understand.
Fellaini has been linked with a move to Manchester United during the transfer window and was the subject of a failed £36m joint-bid with left-back Leighton Baines in August.
He was given permission by Belgium to delay joining up with the national squad ahead of their World Cup qualifier with Scotland at Hampden Park on Friday to further fuel speculation he could be moving clubs.
And a transfer to Old Trafford has now moved a step closer, with Fellaini upping the ante ahead of the 11pm transfer deadline.
