I never liked him and didn't want us to sign him, and wanted to get rid of him this summer, but seriously he has been far better this season, and have actually been very valuable for us, he has now scored against WBA, and now QPR both away in matches, where we looked toothless, i would be happy for us to keep him as a squad player.

Deserves a lot of credit for bouncing back from last season. Fair play to him.
Fair play to him for turning things around. He's is a great asset to have.
People just don't want to see it.
Really happy for him... He's played a whole lot better this year.
I've had him down as a cert to be been sold in the summer as we'll need to sell some players that will actually command a decent fee, but other than DDG he is fast becoming our most important player this season, which is a pretty impressive turnaround from the guy.
I like Fellaini. Once you accept he's not Busquets or Xavi, then you start to appreciate what he brings to the table, he's not a world beater, but he's very capable. He's a solid player, valuable when attacking and defender set pieces, and weighs in with goals every now and then, and he works hard.
The closest thing we have to a cutting edge this season. No nonsense, direct and today, decisive.
Moyes was right, his chest control is the best in the world. It does give De Gea a fantastic out ball when Fellani can bring down long balls like that. I think we saw today that he is actually quite neat and tidy too, whilst being fairly intelligent in his movement. I think under Van Gaal we have seen a much better disciplined Fellani than we did under Moyes.
Well done to come on and grab a goal. It's amazing what a bit of confidence does. All credit to him for turning it around.
He's keeping his elbows in check too without sacrificing his physical play. Hope that continues, feel like refs always waiting to make those calls against him.
Yep. He already scored 4 goals as well.
TBH, I thought that was another Hail Mary moment when he came on to start the second half, but he was really good and disciplined from the get-go. May it continue for him.
That was some strike for his goal
Hmmmm.....where are all those doubters gone?
Reminded me of how Berbatov would take a chance in that position. Very composed.
The goals make him a valuable member of the squad. He's not the most creative or best passer, although fairly accurate, or the best defensive player, but if he can score 8-10 goals then he justifies his place.
He's scored three goals.
and.....team wins more games now with him than without him!!!!
I love that fuzzy haired, pointy elbowed bastard.
I even love Ashley Young, and his cocky face and his weird hunchback running.
Van Gaal has turned villains into heroes.

I'm pleased that he's having an impact this season. Some of the criticism he received last season I feel was unjust.
he has as many goals as yellow cards. we win with him in the side which is mental.
Not sure why he still gets slated by a lot on here, perhaps it's because Fellaini still reminds people of the Moyes era?
Either way, he is one of our most influential players, like it or not.

I can't believe the complete turnaround he's made. He's now one of our more important players. Well done to him.
Should be starting. Actually no, needs to be starting. Gives us great balance in midfield. One of our best performing players this season. To turn it around like he has deserves a lot of credit.
Good to see him do well, the way he was treated during the summer was disgusting. Probably has won himself a starting place with this performance.
Have to put both hands up and admit I was wrong about him. I still think it was poor business but what he is producing on the pitch now, is a credit to himself and is a benefit to United.
Really hope it continues.

You Mata's lover. I'm still hoping LvG can also turn Mata around, as I really thought he would be our missing piece (a.k.a Cantona).Very good stuff. As with our other central midfielders id play him instead of ththew likes of rooney
That skill near the touchline
So happy for the guy. Works hard and when he's confident and on his game, all the nice technical stuff comes out on show as well

Where are those feckers who booed him during the preseason game at OT? I want to see what their reactions are like. Probably licking his arsehole right now. Right dickheads, they were.
Great to see the turnaround in him. When he was signed, I expected him to do well contrary to others who thought it was a shite signing but he didnt do well in the 1st season. Really happy to see him turn it around this season. Has a presence about him which makes it tough to play against. Should start every game in CM alongside Mata, Carrick and Di Maria. Rooney up top with 1 of the other 3 strikers.
why he still gets slated over here?
not everyone is gentleman enough to admit he was wrong...
Admittedly it took some time for Fellaini to settle down and some fans preferred to be swayed by the hate spouted on twitter rather than be patient with a player who wad recovering from an injury.
if gets 20 goals and in the process gets 20 yellows....i wouldn't care so much about the latter
in truth it was meant to be a surprise that he has 3 goals not an indictment over 3 yellows.
He is just perfect for the diamond - Can bully opposition players, win balls back and gets cover for positioning in terms of Carrick. Played superbly yesterday - and how we've missed him
- Won back balls in midfield and final third
- Kept the ball fantastically well in the end
- Showed skill in the touchline
- Buried a chance which Falcao in his current form would have struggled.
I hope the Afro makes a comeback amongst the fans. And the celebration with Januzaj

Having looked to be nailed on to be sold, he appears, like Young, to have been "rehabilitated" under van Gaal. Certainly looks much more like the player Moyes thought he was getting.
Took his chance yesterday and buried it. Fair play to him.

Just put him on and watch him muscle everyone off. I wasn't very fond of him last year but putting him higher up is obviously the way to use him properly.
To think we almost sold him to Napoli for peanuts.. We are lucky they weren't willing to pay a bit more.
Lucky he got injured. That ankle injury could be the best thing to happen to him in his career thus far.
