Will Fellaini be a valuable asset for Mourinho?

Fellaini could prove to be a valuable asset in midfield for Mourinho as Christian Eriksen is in final year of his contract and club could lose him for free in January transfer window.

Marouane Fellaini first came to England when David Moyes bought Belgian International to Everton for a fee of 15 million pounds from Standard Liege. He me 177 appearances for Everton and scored a total of 33 goals and provided 26 assists.

When Moyes became United's manr after Sir Alex Ferguson retired in 2013, he bought Fellaini to Old Trafford for a fee of 27 million pounds. Fellaini endured a difficult start to his life with Red Devils but ultimately established himself as a key player under Louis Van Gaal and Jose Mourinho before being shipped off by Solskjaer.

midfielder played a total of 177 matches for Manchester United but scored a mere 22 goals and provided only 12 assists, t justifying his £27 million tag and branding himself as a United flop. However, he helped Red Devils win FA cup and UEFA Europa League in 2017.
