4 players Manchester United should sell this summer

#2 Marouane Fellaini

Fellaini has been sidelined for most of the season

Fellaini’s stay at Manchester United has been a roller-coaster ride right from the beginning. Signed by David Moyes in an ill-fated deadline day of the summer window of 2013, the afro-sporting Belgian had always been deemed as a panic buy and rightly so.

He had worked well with Moyes during their time together at Everton, so there was still some hope that he could flourish under the same manager. But it was not to be. Moyes was sacked 10 months into his tenure and Fellaini’s performances did not do much to raise the spirits of the fans.

Then came Louis van Gaal and Mourinho who used him in different ways. He was used as a focal point in rebuilding play by LvG and as a Plan B whenever United fell behind and wanted a target man by Mourinho. He seemed confused about his position and could never quite cement his place in the starting XI.

It seems the time to offload Fellaini is appropriate this summer, considering that he has hardly featured for United this season with a combination of injuries and different formations keeping him out of United’s squad.
