Marouane Fellaini
It was fairly obvious for all to see that Manchester United were in dire need of a central midfielder or two, before the transfer window closed shut. And although they let the Belgian’s buyout clause expire and ended up paying £4m more for him, Fellaini brings some much needed steel to the United midfield, which has lacked a physical presence, ever since the departure of Roy Keane in 2005.
Fellaini will add strength, height, goals and will bring something different to the United midfield. The fact that he is versatile and capable of playing both as a deep lying midfielder and as an attacking one thanks to his wide range of passing, means that United will have some options to choose from, when it comes to the middle of the park. More than anything else, he has proven to be the marquee signing that Moyes has craved for in his first transfer window as manager of Manchester United.
