Fellaini has been handy for Jose Mourinho.
Marouane Fellaini was a deadline day transfer from Everton in 2013 which saw him reunite with his former manager David Moyes at Manchester United. At that time, United were facing difficulties, and the Belgian was rumored to be a panic transfer in order appease the fans.

Fellaini lacks the guile or creativity of other players but what he provides with his stature is a handy weapon when teams play long balls.
The Belgian was never a Manchester United kind of a player which drew immense criticism from the fans due to his lack of playmaking skills from the midfield. But still, he became a vital part of the squad under David Moyes and then Louis Van Gaal.
Jose Mourinho likes physicality which made him suited to the Portuguese's plans immediately. Jose used him crafty in the past two seasons and in the current campaign he has been one of United's few best players so far. Marouane would hope that Mourinho would stay on as a manager who would give him more opportunities to shine in a Manchester United shirt.

About the author

A sports enthusiast and an avid follower of football.
Since childhood I was encouraged to play cricket and in no time it became a hobby. Gradually I found interest in other sports also.
Football is in my blood and I love the electrifying ambiance that surrounds it. I often watch the pre and post match analysis of a match and try to learn how to analyze a football game.
The thing that intrigues me the most is that there are so many things happening behind the scenes that are oblivious to our naked eyes. The technological advancements that has been made are phenomenal.
I like analyzing a game from a statistical point of view. Being a data guy myself , I am firm believer of providing insights through facts and data. Though a game is always unpredictable , analyzing it from different dimensions can provide some very interesting conclusions.
