Manchester United midfielder Marouane Fellaini has announced his retirement from football after being diagnosed with a serious injury.
The Belgian international made over 450 appearances for the club and was a key player in their Premier League success in recent years.
However, he struggled with injuries throughout his time at Old Trafford and had to miss several important matches due to his health issues.
In a statement released by Manchester United, they said: "We would like to thank Marouane for all that he has done for the club during his time here."
"His contribution to the team on and off the pitch will always be remembered and we wish him well in whatever comes next."
Fellaini's departure leaves the club without a consistent central midfield option, but it is not yet clear who will fill the void left by his absence.
CSL (Chinese Super League) players face uncertainty as they prepare for the new season without their star player.
As reported by ESPN, former Chelsea star Oscar was expected to lead the Chinese giants, but he recently suffered a knee injury which ruled him out for the rest of the season.
With no clear replacement available, the CSL clubs may have to make do with their current squad or look towards the transfer market to find a suitable replacement.
This could have significant implications for the league's top teams, who will need to adapt quickly to the loss of such a talented player.
It is a shame to see Fellaini retire from football, but his career was cut short due to injuries. The loss of a key player can have a significant impact on any team, and it remains to be seen how the CSL clubs will cope with this situation.
