After

several months of brinkmanship, Marouane fellaini signed on for another two years at Manchester United. No surprise there. Where, exactly, was going to be better? fellaini might not start regularly, but he is crucial to Jose Mourinho’s second-half strategies when he is looking to close a game down or go direct in search of a goal. As he demonstrated against england last week, fellaini is a better player than he is given credit for, and Mourinho’s United are perfect for him. Whether this is what United’s fans wanted from the summer is another matter.
