Marouane Fellaini Faces Uncertain Future at Manchester United
Marouane Fellaini’s future at Manchester United looks increasingly uncertain this summer. Despite his solid performances for the Red Devils, the Belgian midfielder—currently representing Belgium at the World Cup in Brazil—is reportedly not part of incoming manager Louis van Gaal’s plans.
According to the Daily Mail, Van Gaal, who is set to take charge of Manchester United following his stint as the Netherlands coach, believes Fellaini does not fit the “Manchester United style” of play. The Dutch manager is said to be seeking a more creative player to support striker Robin van Persie, and has indicated to the club’s management that Fellaini will not be part of his squad next season.
Fellaini, of Moroccan descent, joined United last August in a high-profile transfer worth over €32 million. However, persistent injuries have hampered his ability to consistently deliver his best performances throughout the campaign.
If he is sold, Fellaini’s current form at the World Cup could spark interest from clubs across the Premier League and beyond. After Belgium’s opening match against Algeria, former England striker Gary Lineker praised Fellaini’s performances on the international stage, describing him as a key player for Belgium—even if he has struggled to impress at Old Trafford.
With the summer transfer window open, Fellaini’s next destination remains a hot topic among fans and pundits alike.
