Aye he is just as suitable. I prefer if Herrera was captain myself but I think Jose is just publicly backing him. That's all I can think of.

As annoying as this argument always is (why are you bothering to comment at all if thats what you think?) it's particularly stupid to hold up the example of a manger sacked for not delivering the results expected if you're going to make it.
When you have 2 candidates you give it to the longer serving player unless the other player is a born leader like Keane or vidic which herrera ain't
No.
It's the stupidity of the anti-Fellaini agenda posters.
He has during his time here:
-scored the goal to secure our Champuions league qualification.
-scored the goal to get us into the group stages of the UCL
-Scored in both the quarter final and semi-final of the FA cup.
- Scored in the derby
For a often much aligned player that is pretty decent .
None of us think that Fellaini is the best thing since sliced bread. But we are simply not blinded by hate to see what he offers.
He was a better midfielder than both Herrera and Morgan last season yet gets all the hate. Better than that crock Bastian who was treated like a hero on here.
I know for some here, their opinion on Fellaini won't change. But thank goodness he doesn't let them get to him. More good perfomances from him and the haters can cry all day long .
He has shown the kind of mental toughness that has disappeared from a lot of our mentally fragile squad over this last 3 years.
Maybe Fellaini really is the best captain choice today but if so that is rather worrying.
Good to hear alot of people here actually gives him a chance for being captain today.
Imo hes the best choice, hes a fighter which i like in a captain. He is our longest serving player in todays lineupp.
Lets go to war against Sunderland with Fellaini as a captain. I like it.

Its anoying reading the Fellaini haters here, but this place is probably the worst place to go if you want to be in serius talks of United.
Against Everton, there was a clash between Young and Mirallas. Quite a few of our players gathered at the scene for the shoving and chest bumping contest. Herrera got in between the clash and shoved our players away. He showed a sense of urgency to move on with the game as we were goal down. You are telling me Fellaini is the best option we have despite having Herrera on the pitch?
Somewhere there at home, you know that a certain individual who likes to post here every now and then with making up statistics against Fellaini has just shat himself with anger.
Hope he's not reading any of this in the changing room right now. Some of these comments have the potential to make a player question his talent.
whether van gaal got sacked or not, doesn't change the fact that LVG and Mourinho are two of the most legendary managers of all time
And the reason it is annoying is because it is so obviously correct that you don't have a reasonable response to it. There's nothing reasonable you can say that will convince anyone that you are in a better position to make decisions about fellaini than jose mourinho.
I totally agree that this is a forum and would be boring without opinions other than 'I know less than the manager'.
The meltdown over a ceremonial position 
I endorse this commercial.
Sunderland 0:3 Man Utd
It would be easier to take them seriously if they actually made valid arguments other than the default and lazy : ''Baah..Fellaini goes against everything I want in a Man United player and is the symptom for our decline''
We have always had decent squad players at this club that can pop in at pivotal times with a goal here and there. Fellaini fits that Bill exactly. The reason we are were we are is because of our poorly performing megastars.
Great ball by Cap Feli denied by the ref
No one is 'blinded by hate', and Fellaini has had his moments, but football is more than about moments. The cold hard facts are that Manchester United have performed woefully below expectations throughout Fellaini's time here and he's shown little to suggest that he has another level he can go to.
He's not solely responsible for that failure to reach expectations, but he's synonymous with it. I simply can't understand how any United fan can be happy to watch another manager make the same mistakes that his previous two failures made.
I do, however, understand the argument that you should support the players that have put on the shirt and I will do that; I hope he has a good game, but I don't think that means you shouldn't question or should blindly accept whats happening at the club and I suspect the fact that some are happy with Fellaini's contribution does reflect how low standards have fallen here.
No the reason it's annoying is because you literally could use the argument for absolutely anything on the forum. If thats what you believe then A) why does this site exist and B) why on earth have you posted nearly 4000 times on a forum discussing football if you are of the opinion that you can't discuss football?
Clunky play so far. Exchanges between the likes of him and Miki are hilarious to watch, such is the difference in poise.
His long passing is inexistant, can't wait to see the back of this turd. Sick of him.
What a miss
Missed a sitter everyone will say, but so far so good.
Still a better captain than Rooney.
Aye, he's been solid again. Could've scored, but went in as hard as possible, not sure he could've done better. Need to see it again perhaps.
In Fellaini's defence, he could never possibly be as inconsistent as Rooney. For that alone, it's nice to know what you'll get from your captain.
I would not say it's a sitter but most will because how they put every chance Zlatan miss down as a sitter. It was quick play so hard to do something with the Sunderland defender alongside him.
Some of you are clueless.
yes agreed, as I said in the edit. I get why people don't want you to point out that actually they have close to no basis for their opinion. We have to all pretend that we know things about football and we watch the players enough during the week to know more than the manager for the proper discussions to exist. I just like to break it out when people are extremely dogmatic when discussing single players, because I would prefer if we supported all our players rather than hating some with little logical basis
We've got a player who won in 3 countries and we give the captian band to our hoof ball specialist
Why is he even playing in a game like this? Nevermind being the captain
He's been shit, like the majority on the pitch. His 10m poorly weighted passes are mint...
Zlatan? He apparently never wants it. Thiago Silva was given it at PSG
A nothing player. Does nothing good or bad, he is just there and plays a bit around with his mates. He doesnt belong in our first eleven
Solid first half.
Doing alright, could he have done better from that Shaw cross?
Does it really matter? It's not like Zlatan needs any validation that his job is to carry the team. At least it gives Felli some confidence.
Does nothing well (apart from chest control). I guess you can say he's been decent, but he takes the place of a player who would offer more.
Thought about it myself. Saw that again, his marker was pretty much 1cm away from him, he had the shot covered in any case. Guess he could've somehow taken the ball down, but that would've been too much to ask from anyone really, the pass came at him with some pace.
Hopefully will get subbed off shortly. Offered absolutely nothing in the first half but then again, rarely does.
I can't understand why on earth we haven't made Ibra captain. He's the most experienced, charismatic and talented player in the team. He also captained teams before at both club and nation level. Instead we gave the captain band to a red card waiting to happen
Think about the message it sends. Jose is running the first meritocracy at United since Fergie. Rooney out of the team for good, Martial, de Gea, Shaw, Mkhitaryan, etc, all have been dropped, criticized. If you have the right mentality, you can play for Jose. Fellaini has it.
He's a limited player and won't be here long term, I get that. But in the short term, I think this is superb management. The squad knows that if they compete they can take any player's place.
