8) Marouane Fellaini – £27.5m
Bought by David Moyes who decided to bring his biggest midfielder from former club Everton to Old Trafford, Fellaini has split United fans right down the middle. Some fans see him as a failed transfer by a manager who had no idea what he was doing. Others see him as the perfect squad player who sticks to the basics and follows instructions – the ideal Plan B candidate.
Lumping long balls and crosses to the big Belgian became the norm when everything else failed to work. The 29-year-old won more than 150 aerial duels this season alone despite starting only 25 games in the Premier League and Europa League combined.
Many expected Fellaini to head for the Old Trafford exit when Jose Mourinho was appointed but the Portuguese manager kept him on and used him effectively in a number of games when nothing else seemed to work. But it begs the question – especially with Nemanja Matic arriving – will he be in Mourinho’s plans next season?
Fellaini does not offer much in way of creativity and is not the best defensively, picking up nine yellow cards and a red card.
Rating: 6/10
