The question now is if we had bended for him and gave him the salary he was asking for. That will be hilarious to see if it happens.
oh feck no!
Held to Ransom by a mid table player. Man United in 2018.
As is 45 game a season Ashley Young. And only rivalled by an 18 year old with 6 senior appearances Antonio Valencia.
He’ll still find a way to complain, mind.
So that's centre midfield sorted 
So ends the strangest transfer saga in living memory, with us seemingly upping the money and length of contract originally offered to satisfy the Big Belgian.

Great, Midfield done. Now over to the other positions.
This dick staying and now Juve buying Cancelo. We’ll be stuck with Fellaini and Darmian for ever
This is what I've been trying to make people understand, we have bigger priorities than another CM, namely a CB, RW & maybe a LB
Ridiculous decision. He’s gone around Europe trying to get a contract elsewhere but nobody was stupid enough to pay him what he’s demanding so he decides to accept our offer last minute. What a joke. I thought Mourinho only wanted players who were committed to the club.
His fans will still blame the quality of the squad for any poor performances though, pointing to Daley Blind and Luke Shaw who will play a combined total of 120 minutes.
Hardly the case is it?The state of this place. Just highlights the feckwiterry of the emo internet culture. Imagine getting so worked up over a backup utility player as if the club were concentrating all their resources into making him their only signing in order to build a team around him.
This only means that we will have funds for signing in other areas where we actually need or have a higher priority to fulfil. I don't want him here but I am happy he is not first choice and barely second choice now or at least competing for that 2nd choice rather than being the only other option. Also, it means we will get a fee when we do sell him rather than the square root of feck all if we let him go for nothing.

All technically true, but the issue that everyone is pointing out is regarding his (or any player in question's for that matter) overall effectiveness.
Would one rather have a player that can do many things pretty well and influence the game that way over a span of minutes played, or a player that can do one thing really well and influence the game in that way over a span of minutes played.
A combination of the two maybe.
Fergie broke a mirror on the way out the door didn't he...
We will go into next season with Young crossing balls into Fellaini as our biggest threat again
Not long until the Fellaini testimonial
The hysteria in here for us deciding to extend the contract of our 5th choice CM.
Put your feet up reasonable folks, the meltdown should be fun to watch!

Nobody fecking wanted Fellaini this Summer. I can't see why there'd suddenly be much demand for him when he's a year or 2 years older.
It's comical. I particularly enjoy the people taking transfer speculation around him as gospel in order to criticise further. Whored himself out to Arsenal FFS....
Castles says he rejected Arsenal.
Except you have no idea if anyone wanted him or not. Don't let that stop you talking bollocks though.
I think this is what bothers people more than anything.
If fit I'm pretty sure he will still play a decent of amount of minutes, it's not like Mourinho doesn't like him. He sees him as the key alternative to our play when we don't score. Resorting to long balls during certain tough situation is key to Jose and this is why Fellaini will play a big role again
I'm more bothered by that than I am by the actual renewal. Fellaini has been below average in every single seasons that he played for us, he isn't the only one obviously but acting as if he was a good player or as if he has helpful is puzzling.
What every other manager thinks about him? That he is a useful player? They dont hate him for his afro or how he looks in general.
When we"lost" Zlatan to injury we effectively "had" to spend 90m to stay still.
When the scousers lost Can then they had to spend 42m to stay still.
Losing a player on a bosman is NEVER a good thing, grow the feck up. He's a SQUAD player.

Well nobody wanted him enough, that's for sure. Had he got the contract offer he wanted from another club he would have left long ago.
Complete rubbish, I find it funny how often people are willing to forget the important goals he has scored for us all because they have an agenda against him.
Any fee is better than no fee. This is only a small part of the argument in any case compared to the other points I made.
The joys of being one of the managers favourite players.
You have no way of knowing this.
Yeah that's why so many Utd fans dislike Fellaini being a Utd player.
It's because of how he looks, nothing to do with him being shite.
See you say 5th choice but he started our biggest game in champions league last year, he would have in the final if he wasn't injured too. You are right though, it kind of is fun to watch.The hysteria in here for us deciding to extend the contract of our 5th choice CM.
Put your feet up reasonable folks, the meltdown should be fun to watch!
Jose, LVG, Martinez etc all agree.
I don't see him getting many games so it seems a bit strange. He scored a good goal against Arsenal near the end of the season and I like his character and determination.
Suppose Jose sees him as a last chance saloon in a game. Thought he'd be better off getting more game time elsewhere in his later stages.

It's far more likely than any other scenario.
It has a lot to do with it but mostly its because how we was bought and the fact he wasnt Thiago. After that he had no hope. He isnt shite he is a good squad player, stop with this shite nonsense. How many important goals has he gotten for us?
I do not understand the reason behind this meltdown. He will be our 5th/6th choice CM at best and will be most probably shipped out next year to Turkey or China. He's like a temporary bandage to just stop the bleed, the only reason he even got an extension is because we have other priorities and we do not want to spend millions on another CM.
