Playing well today.
Let's hope we get another goal so when his inevitable mistake happens it doesn't cost us the 3 points.
 
Very good game for him today, which is surprising as he's played as a genuine midfielder
 
I am not surprised at all by how well he played. I said it all along that he is a very able midfielder that can have decent/good games but he should never be the central focus of a team.
 
Gave him my motm, but easily could have been blind or bailly

Just a top performance. Probably his best ever for Utd
 
Very good today, besides his fantastic defensive contributions he made the second most passes in the United team with an pass accuracy of 99%.
 
Him and Herrera were very good together.

Would like to see them with Pogba in the next game.
 
He fits very well in Mourinho's tactics. Will be interesting if he's out for Pogba come friday.
 
Extremely good performance. If Mou can get that kind of performance out of Fellaini consistently then I don't want him going anywhere. He cut out the soft free kicks, acknowledged his job on the ball is to give it to more creative players and was extremely effective in the air as expected. Cleared the ball on several occasions and won it countless times. More of the same please.
 
Picks himself next game irrespective if Pogba comes in. Felliani allows him to go forward...
 
Good to see his performance thread full of compliments for a change. I did wonder if some would overlook his good performance because they're too used to slagging him off.

He can definitely play a useful role in the squad this season.
 
He should not be sold if he keeps playing like today
He won't be getting sold. Managers love players like Fellaini.

He offers power, strength, versality and crucially something both different as well as very hard to mark and handle.
 
Good performance overall. Did his job simply and well - contributed well defensively. Could just have had a good game but part of me wonders if Mourinho's already had an influence because Fellaini looked much, much more disciplined today than he has been for a long time, both in his actual physical discipline when it came to fouls etc, and in his positional discipline as well. I've often criticised his tendency to go wandering and not really know where he should be on the pitch but he knew what he was doing today.

Will be interesting to see what happens long-term. Still think there's a possibility he might not feature too much once Pogba's in the side because you could argue Pogba offers everything Fellaini does whilst being light years ahead as a footballer, but I'm getting the impression Mourinho likes Fellaini and if he can keep on playing like that I'm happy for him to have a role in the squad.
 
Really good today, I'll happily eat my words.

Responsible, quick in the tackle and moved the ball really well for a change.

Still would like more movement in offering himself in the middle but hard to argue with that performance, hope it continues if he is to stay there.

Didn't put a foot in wrong. Won the ball numerous times, was quicker than were used to in possession and both distributed the ball well and brought it up the pitch well when he could. Probably my MotM but Herrera was equally as deserving.
 
Best player behind Bailly today.

Cleaned up the middle and kept things simple with his passing.

He looked really confident.
Agreed. Voted for him as my motm figuring Bailly would take it anyway but Fellaini was extremely solid again. Probably the most divisive player on our team regarding opinions but he proves many of us wrong more than not.
