I think it shows him running into both of them. Although obviously it is more aggressive with Milner.
And yes, I thought Clattenburg would pay a freekick too.
Can't stand the guy.
As a midfielder, he's Championship standard and has no place playing for Manchester United. If only he hadn't got injured at the beginning of last season, Napoli would have taken him off our hands and we'd never have to see this lumbering oaf stinking the place up.

And we probably wouldn't have got 4th last season.
'Marouane Fellaini, who commits 2.18 fouls per fixture - more than anyone else in the division' - extract from the below BBC article about Diego Costa. This sums Fellaini up really. If he was making these fouls because he was a ball-winning tackler and misjudged a few, then fair enough. Instead he just runs around like the Pepperami animal man, fouling and rarely winning the ball. He's a calamity. I really wanted him to work at United but the joke has gone on too long now.

Seems another midfield job for him again.
He does make some daft fouls, but his count isn't helped by the fact that referees don't seem to understand the difference between fouling someone and being taller than them when he's involved. A lot of the stuff he gets called up for would never be given if he was 5' 10", and other players get away with fouling him, seemingly on the basis that they're smaller than him.
An incident that springs to mind is Jack Wilshere headbutting Fellaini. If he'd done that to someone nearer to his height he'd have been off no-question, but since his headbutt just went into Fellaini's chest apparently it didn't count and he didn't get carded iirc.

Liverpool fans used to say the same about Crouch. How the mighty has fallen
I dont like him as a player, but its true he put in some big performances last year, to get us into the top 4 in our toughest run of fixtures. I also noticed myself he gets fouled, and the other players have their hands all over him, but as soon as he reacts or does similiar he gets fouls called against him. Defintely not my type of player, but its is annoying how the refs give fouls against him all the time, just because hes the bigger player
I actually agreed with Liverpool fans at the time. With Crouch, it was mostly a valid point. With Fellani, well, he commits more daft fouls (that has nothing to do with height) that Crouch did. You'd think he'd stop elbowing people by now.
Think he starts today.
Likely him, Herrera and Morgan in midfield.

Sadly, I think you're right. Will this be the day he sees a red card?
Unfortunately 100% he'll start today... The one header he jumped,for last week has cemented him in place for the next four weeks.... Philosophy that.
Thought he would have last week... But he will one of these days, it's as inevitable as him turning slowly in a circle watching midfield play bypass him, running the ball out of play & being dispossessed like a sleeping child. Every. Single. Game.
You seem to be positively gagging for him to get sent off.
Not really, but considering he's been lucky at least 2 times in recent memory, I am expecting the worst.
I don't mind him, if we played him like we did last season. Despite how obvious his limited ability is, he sure has a nack for popping up with key moments/goals.
My issue with him isn't necessarily with him being a target man, nuisance or whatever. It's just him being obviously not good enough in whatever role he plays. He's a poor deep lying midfielder, who is slow on the ball, immobile, loses possession, and can't pass. Put him further up and those attributes stop him being an effective number ten, so he essentially becomes a battering ram. He's not technically good enough for either position, but who else do we have right now?
In an ideal world, we'd have better players for both. The problem is they're all injured and Van Gaal's hand is forced. I don't blame him for keeping him around after last season, but i definitely think he'll be moved on this summer.

I really don't mind him, there's no such thing as man utd quality, never has been if you look at the teams in the past. There is something about man utd mentality which I think he has. I think he doesn't pretend to be something he's not, nothing flash, beard or tattoo's or any other clique and like that about him. I've seen him a few times around Manchester and at Trafford centre and he's really down to earth man that never refuses pictures or signitures.
For me, he's just another player in a long line of players that players love to kick. Last season played IMO played the most significant contribution (with DDG) in the second half of the season in us qualifying for champs league. More importantly playing in his right position.

Hahaha.... Come on, he has the novelty hair of sideshow Bob!
That's me point. He's his own man.....
With his selection again today, LVG is confirming that Fellaini is an integral part of this team. Good to see that.
Strongly disagree. Just can't see us winning anything with Fellaini in the team, domestically or in Europe. I hope I'm wrong 'cause it looks like LVG is sticking with him for better or worse!
LVG thinks he is and sticks with him for whatever reason. I want to believe that he sees an important player in Fellaini. Some may not like it, but it does not matter at least as long as LVG wants him in the first team.
I hope he does well today, but I really hope this is his last season here.
Man Utd 0:1 Southampton
We have three fit midfielders at the moment so I wouldn't make to many assumptions from the fact he is starting, all our other midfielders has more starts than him this season.
He was not starting early this year, and others did. They didn't do necessarily better. LVG currently believes in him and we are not worse off in the past few weeks.
I'm not saying he is great. I'm just saying that LVG wants him as a starter at the moment, and he has his reasons.
The rest of us see feck all alternatives as both Carrick and Schweinsteiger are out with injuries.
Herrera can't play in midfield and Mata behind Rooney? Or God forbid, two strikers?
They probably can. Just like Park and Rafael could play central midfield against Blackburn.
If they should play there is a different question
Useless lump. Just useless.
That clearance 
That stamp looked intentional.
I suspect that every tackle he makes would look like an intentional foul to you.
I suppose he's the reason for cancer and aids as well.
In fairness, nobody cares about your suspisions
If that's what you suppose
My suspicions only pale in comparison to your illuminating thoughts on how Fellaini is in fact the very spawn of satan and likely responsible for all that is wrong with the world, I am sure.
Yeah. Players playing in their actual position is comparable to that.
Stop overdramatizing.
Stamp looked intentional by the way he puts his foot down in that situation.
You go on moaning about it being the same as portraiting him as the spawn of satan.
Mint.
