In what world ? Are you really serious ? He wouldn't right, Stambouli left PSG because he was far from good enough. Bendtner, Zaza and Pereyra aren't there anymore because they weren't good enough.

Some of the contortions and mental gymnastics going on here are mind-boggling, you're essentially absolving Aguero of being a comprehensive gigacunt for his rather shameless and sad attempt to get somebody sent off. I mean, aguero is on film acting like an absolute bell-end forever now. Fellaini has literally been punished for not being a softcock and going down over the slightest of contact.
That is modern football for you though. Weird reaction in here, considering they are our biggest rivals and in the end it didn't cost us anything.
Admit it, you're blowing up because you'd love to be in his position to throw you're bonce at Aguero's face, lol.

Even ignoring the headbutt, he was in trouble with Atkinson. Watch the replay of the entire sequence. Atkinson is waving him to come with him after the second tackle, before Aguero provokes him.
It was just such a stupid piece of play. He could easily make the first foul without getting himself a yellow card. Instead he left the ref no choice.
He could also easily not waste time debating a clear cut yellow card with Atkinson, so he wasn't behind the play having to chase back against Aguero, who obviously angled for the second foul.
He then could easily just not make the second foul, as Aguero was going into no mans land and we had the situation well covered.
And then, to top it off, he got goaded into a headbutt, leaving us on our barest bones in midfield for the upcoming matches as well as killing every minimal chance of getting a win in the match.
I've been defending him this season and think he's done well enough to be a squad option for us. But surely, surely, his only saving grace was that he's supposed to be a reliable option in midfield, doing the basic things unspectacularly but well?
He's now cost us stupid penalties vs Everton and Watford, and he's getting himself sent off in just about the stupidest way I've ever seen, during our most important part of the season, with injuries all over the place.
Now I can live with him slowing play down, being a poor passer of the ball and generally not being of the quality a Manchester United midfielder should be. It's not his fault, and deployed correctly he can sort of do a job.
But yesterday was his fault, and I'm afraid, judging by Mourinho's reaction, that it might very well have cost him his underwhelming United career.

We've been writing him off for three years.

Though he was good defensively and was done by a cheating cnut. My initial reaction when saw the replay was Fellaini was an idiot but after watching multiple replays it looked like Fellaini went to do the ridiculous forehead to forehead thing footballers do without doing anything, Aguero moved towards him and them went down like a pile of shit.
Fellaini should know better though, he was just carded and things were getting heated up. He should have just walked away.

I'd put this in the category of Aguero making it obvious to the ref that he has just been nutted. Gives the ref no option.
Canny rather than outright outright play-acting.

They still signed them.
Yeah, Felliani, what do we expect.
He isn't the brightest spark.
He isn't the brightest spark.
I mean for this season. I also think people gave him too much stick in LVG's reign, everyone was awful then but he was truly awful under Moyes.
He can definitely be used as an impact sub or someone to physically man handle the mid field.
Spent loads of time running around aimlessly or walking and ball watching, one of the dumbest players I have ever seen, it's just luck whether he is in right place or not.
You can't rely on him because he is so inconsistent, ,matrial ended up covering for him last night and his terrible passing meant whenever he got into a decent position he didn't know what to do. He wasn't, isn't and never will be good enough, if we are going to play him 10-15 times a season I could understand but anything more than that is only going to result in the usual poor season he has had four times already.

Everyone sign shit players, the important question is whether or not these players are given playing time, if they're counted on, if the managers values them or not. Fellaini must be one the shittest player playing for a big team in the last 4 years. He is a joke all things considered.
No one really is. Aguero best contribution was acting like a bitch to send Fellaini off, he played a big role in that no doubt but only because Fellaini was stupid enough to fall for it. They should be ashamed of themselves for different reasons but won't obviously.
Not just the red card (he was stupid enough to get involved in the first place and to foul him again after getting a yellow card seconds before), but he didnt offer anything when in possession. He is just not good enough and needs to leave
Spot on. I'm convinced any 6'5" non-league player could do what Fellaini does.... or doesn't.
If he wanted to pull a Zidane, he should've went straight on to Aguero's chest... not that pathetic love tap to the noggin'. Not committed enough, get rid. 
Didn't you say Fergie was going to sign Fellaini as well if he hadn't retired? Are you related to Fellaini or something?
It was a ridiculous reaction from Fellaini though, he's a professional and should know how to act, Frank Lampard was laughing the studio after the game because it was beyond stupid, 30 seconds after just being booked.
"Not being softcock"? I'd rather he had been deemed to be soft but not got himself sent off given thats how football works.
The point is it could have cost us and he left the team in the lurch for the last 10 minutes, and now he's banned for 3 games for a straight red card.
The mans an idiot, simply not good enough and should never play for us again.
Really really hope he's offloaded in the summer. Worst case scenario next season is his last.
CL semi-finalists Juventus would want Fellaini in their team
The delusion from some of our fans is off the scale.
People don't mind cheats if it allows them to criticise someone they dislike.
The last minute penalties against Watford and Everton?
I think he sort of redeemed himself since those two moments but another last night and you just think maybe let's go our separate ways. Goddam mic head
It reminded me of when Alan Shearer got Roy Keane sent off. He was played and mugged off by another cnut. He should have known better.
Mourinho's man.
What a moron.
What a moron.
He seemed to be caught in no-man's land quite regularly, they'd bypass him in midfield and he'd just jog back. Its just hard to see how he can be anything more than an impact sub at the club.
He really isn't good enough. Rashford made a great run in the 2nd half and he just slides it sideways to Martial. For me he should only ever play as a target man further upfield. In a deeper position he just stifles everything.
From time to time, he has a good game or looks a decent player, but I think with Fellaini you always have to make a case for him and try and look at him in a glass half-full way rather than half-empty. It didn't cost United a point in the end, but his mad minute last night was just plain ridiculous, he seemed determined to get sent off. Aguero exaggerated the contact with his head, but Fellaini gave him the chance to do it and let himself and United down.
Sorry, what?
Fellaini couldn't even get tickets for a Juve game let alone play in one. He's shite.
You raise examples of players who used to play for a worse Juventus team who were subsequently cleared out before their rise back to the top of the European game. Doesn't exactly help your argument.
A Moyes man. Nuff said.
What scares me is that Jose clearly likes him. He'll probably even get a new contract at some point.
This is another thing to be fair, why isn't Wilshit sent off there? Clear movement just like yesterday towards Fellaini, just becaus he'd have to jump to connect with his head doesn't change shit.
It's just better to be small because refs won't penalise you.
I actually think he's a quite useful player. Well able to break up play, contain possession and pass to an attacking player. Excels at frustrating the opposition and offers height up top when long ball is used as a plan b ( not that i'm a fan of it ). Seems to loose his cool in important games which is not a trait we need in a player atm with so many players injured.
Gone
How long is his ban expected to be? I was headbutted in amateur football fairly recently and the guy was given a 10 game ban by the FA.
I think the backlash on Fellaini is a bit over the top. I'm not the biggest fan myself as I think he can't pass the ball, but he's proven on more than one occasion this season that he can be a useful player. He shouldn't be starting regularly but then he hasn't been a regular starter for most of the season despite only having an ageing Carrick as competition. Were we to bring in another midfielder - which we really ought to be doing - then his playing time would likely be further restricted to late sub appearances where we can use him as a target man, or for cover in the event of multiple injuries. It's not like he's playing within himself or hiding, he's just not that good. Considering the amount of stick he's received in the past, for him to still play as well as he can and with the passion he does is something we should really be applauding.
There's no defending his disciplinary record, though.

We all knew that Cantona and Keane were nutters. However their talent and contribution to the team justified that. Cantona retired the day he felt he was on the decline. Keane refused to do that and once age caught up with him, he was shipped off faster then a Muslim Mexican illegal immigrant caught banging Melania Trump in the white house.
The two questions that needs to be asked are these
a- Is Fellaini's contribution enough to justify a ticking time bomb in the team?
b- If we put him in the transfer market would anyone sign him up? I have no doubt that he would be able to attract clubs. However his salary at United might be a problem
Everyone needs to relax a bit to be honest What he done for the first and second fouls I was happy he did it, fair play to him. They were about to break with us having players out of position and Herrera lunged into foul and missed so Fellaini done the job. Then after a quick free kick with us all over the place still he does a cheeky one to stop them again. People will probably hate me saying this but I love the fact he has fight in him, saying as he got sent off I wish he had stuck a proper nut in Aguero

The vultures are always circling over this mans head with certain fans ready to put the boot in as soon as he makes a mistake. Well you've had to wait longer than you thought or at least less frequent as he's been absolutely tremendous this season. His passing been great, his screening of the back four has been of the highest quality and generally helped us out at both ends of the pitch. Anyone remember his contribution for the goal last week. He's gonna be a massive loss to us.....
Just sell him, he isn't good enough to be in our team let alone our starting 11. We going to win nothing with players like Fellaini, we're not Stock or Westham United, we're Manchester United ffs!
Nobody cares about the fouls, it's the ridiculous decision to put his head into somebody literally 10 seconds after making 2 fouls. He already cost us 2 games this season and we are lucky it wasn't a 3rd.Everyone needs to relax a bit to be honest
Yes Fellaini can do a job but he is thick as 2 planks. Imagine if that was the cup final or CL final and he did that? I doubt you'd be so relaxed.
I thought he was actually having a really good match until he lost his head. To be fair the ref wasn't exactly in control of things and let City get away with kicking Rashford all over the place.
Still no excuse for it.
