Marouane Fellaini: Man United star bigged up by Jose Mourinho

Jose Mourinho is also believed to prefer Fellaini over Juan Mata as he believes Fellaini provides more of a physical presence.

He told MUTV: “With Fellaini I always have the feeling that he was not loved by the general Red people”. “I know you look at the last match and he was not even on the bench but in September we have the EFL Cup, Europa League and Premier League, so that will be the end of the frustration for the players not being selected at the moment”.

However, speaking ahead of Manchester United’s Premier League opener against Bournemouth on Sunday afternoon, Mourinho insisted that the Netherlands global very much features in his plans this season.

Memphis is expected to play some part when United open their Premier League title challenge at AFC Bournemouth on Sunday. “Zlatan had one chance and got one goal which is good for us”. The team created more chances and “more possibilities” for themselves, he added. The manager is helping bring this feeling of aggression and character that we need to win games which is very important.

Selecting him in his 23-man squad for its season opener away to Bournemouth, Jose Mourinho has backed Memphis Depay to make an impact for Manchester United.

Galatasaray have turned their attention towards Manchester United midfielder Marouane Fellaini after failing to sign Lucas Leiva from Liverpool according to the Turkish outlet Mynet.

Fellaini lauded the debut performances of Eric Bailly and the mercurial Zlatan Ibrahimovic during the game.

Marouane Fellaini also played an important role in the midfield.

The player himself was delighted too.

“Like everybody, I want to start so I’m happy to start today and show my quality and show the manager what I can do”.

If he finds consistency in his game and ensures that he can be as strong and reliable as he was against Bournemouth, the big man can certainly win the hearts of United fans and win their “love”.
