Not many fans at Old Trafford would have been sad
to see the Belgium international leave either, but
according to the Daily Star manager Louis van Gaal
is prepared to give the midfielder another chance to
impress.
After targeting the likes of Thiago Alcantara and
Cesc Fabregas last summer van Gaal's
predecessor David Moyes eventually made a
deadline day panic purchase of former player
Fellaini in 2013.
As things got increasingly worse for Moyes during
his ill-fated 11-month spell with the Red Devils the
26-year-old came to serve as something of an on-
field metaphor for his boss' struggles.
Since van Gaal succeeded the Scot in the dugout
Fellaini has not appeared to have been considered a
key part of the 63-year-old's plans for United, but
that is all set to change.
Currently the Belgian is sidelined with an ankle
injury and will not be in contention for first team
action for another three weeks, but before then the
manager plans to seek out the former Toffees man.
Van Gaal will assure Fellaini that is still a key part of
his squad and that once fully fit the midfielder will
have an important role to play as the Dutchman tries
to turn around the fortunes of the club.
