Well I don't agree with the idea of giving players who aren't good enough new contracts to ensure we might get a small transfer fee in the future.

Well I don't agree with the idea of giving players who aren't good enough new contracts to ensure we might get a small transfer fee in the future.
Why would it be far more likely? He is an international player who is at the WC, of course there was interest. Maybe he wanted to stay here/
About 5 or 6? In 5 years?
The super scouts on here have hated him since day 1.
Look what happened to LVG though. And Martinez is hardly great himself.
It's not bad that the manager got a player he wants to stay, but I don't like how Fellaini went about it and the other issue is his wages, he will be hard to move on if another manager comes and doesn't want him around anymore
Speculation based on nothing. Perhaps he's happy here. Perhaps he doesn't want to uproot. I can speculate, too. Fact is, none of us know what he was offered or what clubs were interested.
Really? okay. I hope you enjoy the next two years then!
Which is odd to me. Do people think we should get a shiny new expensive midfielder who would either replace one of Pogba or Matic (no chance) or fight for a starting place with the likes of Herrera, McTominay and Pereira? No point risking that much when there are much bigger issues to deal with.
Well we've just given a midfielder who can't pass, tackle or shoot a 2 year contract so I imagine I wont be!
We haven’t signed Fred to be Fellainis back up, and I imagine Herrera, maybe even McTominay will feature as regularly if not more so than Fellaini. He’s there to do a specific job, he’s the John O’Shea/Phil Neville in midfield scenario.
Dont be silly, Jose is the worst manager in football and hasnt a fecking scooby about what he is doing. Oh and Fellani is the midfield Prunier.
He threw the ball into the net all those times then? Okay!
He's scored one goal with his foot in the last 2 years!
Fecking hilarious. We payed £5 mill more than his payout-clause to get him here. Five years later, his contract finally runs to an end, and no one thinks he's staying - then we bend over and give him a new, improved two year contract.
Imagine calling yourself Djemba Djemba and talking about how shit Fellaini is.Yep, these clowns live and die by every single twatter post or hack article ranging from the complete unknown to the known idiot journos. They are the dream for click bait merchants like shooting twats in a barrel.
People were moaning about the "Decision" that was supposed to be on the 1st of July with a picture of him outside the United training ground should have given them a bit of a clue that it was an old picture considering he is in Russia with the Belgium WC squad
. No sources no direct quotes proven on video/audio so each time someone posts a tweet people think that Fellaini has instigated something or is doing something and that the twitter activity directly relates to him "whoring himself out" or "taking the piss" out of a club. The fecker never says anything ever lol.joking aside I can't really imagine being so gullible.
Reported everywhere now
He has feet? feck me I thought it was two pointed bricks. Whats his hair made of? Snakes?
It takes a shit midfielder to know a shit midfielder!
Seen you mention this a few times. It's not happening and he plays in a position where we have abundance.
Bloody hell, strong-armed by Fellaini. This is a new low.
Well at least the comments on United twitter account when the announcement is made will be priceless.
I don't either but that is not the point. It may not even be a reason. Like I said before it is an afterthought.
I couldnt give a feck if we have a cornucopia there he would walk straight into the team.
I will wait to see what other transfers we make in the summer. I am still baffled that some posters need to attack other posters for thinking Fellaini shouldnt be at United. Fair play if you think he deserves a place at United and think he is your favourite player ever, or even only support him because a group of fans detest him, but i dont think we should have kept him. Nothing will convince me otherwise, especially when he is our plan A next season in the CL in some games and we have no clue how to play football against a semi decent team.
But we can speculate because that's basically what football fans do, is it not? After his recent comments in the press, I think it's a fairly safe assumption that few clubs were interested in acquiring his services considering he has now signed a new contract with United.
What do you think happened?
And free up £40m to spend elsewhere that would have had to go on another backup striker/cm
This is what he did in his five years
1.He scored the goal that gave United breathing space in the Champions League qualifier against Club Brugge
2.Crucial strikes in the quarter-final and semi-final of the successful FA Cup run of 2016
3.Decisive goal against Celta Vigo which sent United to last season’s Europa League final
Well at least the comments on United twitter account when the announcement is made will be priceless.
Popcorn time.
Well worth that new contract then.
The press linked him with PSG, AC Milan and Arsenal, and that's without googling because I'm sure there's more. More speculation. Again, perhaps he decided to stay because he's actually happy at our club?
So depressing, this means no additional CM which we actually need and more throwing this lump on every game for the last 25 minutes and just going long ball, not to mention the games where he starts as a faux CM, such a terrible descion but in keeping with this manager, the sooner both are gone the better.
Apart from the fact it is? Imagine if this was Pogba or Martial, or any other player he doesn’t seem bizarrely worship the ground for.
Yes it does as long as we spend wisely.
One injury away from seeing him start week in, week out.
Oh hold on lads, another clubs manager was after Fellaini, we have to rethink this...hmm Emery was great at Sevilla...did alright at PSG...but Jose is the shits and so is Fellaini...hmmm what to do. Nah Arsenal werent probably in for him at all. Jose out!
I watch all our matches and if there is ever a player who gives his all, it's Fellaini.
The aggression. The passion. The will to bully opponents. The unpredictability of his movements - all arms/legs/elbows in the opoonent's box causes all kinds of problems when defending long balls into the box. Those are Fellaini's strengths.
The 'running through brick walls for his team', mentality is exactly the reason why Jose likes him so much. And this is the very reason why Jose tends not to play Martial as much.
Crosses fingers!
