The Belgian was United’s only signing in the summer of the 2013-14 season. As the David Moyes era progressed, Fellaini came to symbolize everything that was wrong with the club.

He lacked the football skills representative of a United player. He kept picking up injuries at regular intervals. His skills, namely his ability with the aerial ball, has been scarcely used. Most United fans would be glad to see his back.

There were similar murmurings last Sunday, when Fellaini gave away the ball for Vardy to equalize. However, against Bournemouth, the big Belgian put in an accomplished performance.

He rarely gave the ball away. He made crucial interceptions and even started a few moves. All of this proves the fact that Fellaini in himself, is not a bad player. He just needs to be properly utilized and we can expect Mourinho to do the same.
