Marouane Fellaini has won 15 aerial duels vs Ajax, a new record high in one match in Europa League history (2009-now)
MOTM tonight.
MOTM tonight.
Not gonna lie, the reason he looked so dominant today was because Ajax couldn't match up physically to him compared to other opponents we faced this season. The pirouette he did though, zidane-esque.
The chest of God.
Mourinho said he'd make us love Fellaini. I think we all love him tonight!
MOTM. He is so useful to the team.
His stats are great and he starts to play football in a way we haven't seen so far.

Yes?
Tbf, I criticise him often enough, so I'd better pop in and say he was class tonight. I thought Darmian just about edged him for MOTM but that might even be a bit harsh. Did almost everything right, with controlled aggression.
Marouane Fecking Fellaini! he was amazing today! he bossed Ajax players with his strength.
MOTM. He is so useful to the team. His stats are just great.
He starts playing football in a way we haven't seen so far. Good for him and for United.

So so happy for him
What did you think of him tonight?
That was the best I have seen Fellaini play for Utd. I thought he did his job brilliantly, he was set up in the middle of the park and shut down everything and then got forward. Positionally so disciplined and a lot of the pressure he applied to ball carriers in the middle of the park led to poor passes and us winning the ball. My MOTM although I also think every player had a good game.
He's always done what has been asked for him. Just loads of dickheads on here who love to hate him.
From mocking him vs Valencia to this,happy as feck for him.
I thought he was decent, he won all the lumped balls which was his task and even had a couple of moments on the deck where he moved the ball progressively.
He's had a good effective season for me.
Next season I'm sure he'll play less as hopefully he becomes more of a squad player. However he can be useful to have around for years, as long as we have a manager who can use him right. People will hate me saying this, but if it wasn't for his elbows and dirty nature then he could have a shot at cult hero status, an Ole type.

Man mountain
Exactly, alot of the negativity towards him is very often harsh.
Through gritted teeth. But I'll take that.
But this shows that he has his uses.
Easily Man of the match. We had the Zlatan cup final now we have had the Fellaini one.

Not for a team like us that should be playing a type of football where we never need to resort to what he does IMO.
MOTM. By a margin.
always gives 100%. Never moans, gets on with his job. Well done Marouane!!!! Very happy for him! Been a stand out player in the semi and final for us
take it up with mourinho maybe
I thought he was poor first half [got turned a few times way too easily] but stepped it up massively in the second.
Enough time to argue another day.Fine with me mate, just want to relax now and bask in the win.
Enjoy the win.
He was great. You cant expect him to be someone he isnt. He left everything on the pitch and really bossed them. Well done Marouane, he isnt the most creative footballer, but has a great heart.
I've given him a lot of shit over the years, but he was class tonight and seeing him lift that trophy was actually heart warming. As Owen and Rio pointed out in the studio, hes not Paul Scholes and he will never be, but he does his job to his capacity and has always given 100%. I can respect that
My MOTM - in a setup like today where we gifted the opponent possession and then required Fellaini to be the one to bring us into the game the few times we got a chance, he did it exceptionally well.
Well done poodle !
Well done poodle !
Great game from Fellaini.
The way he lifted the trophy was class too.

Wow, what a brilliant performance from him. Great all round, my MOTM. All over the pitch and won every 50/50. He helped to dominate such a young team.
He was excellent tonight and his presence reinforced the "men against boys" aspect of the match. He's not the most gifted player to wear the United shirt but he's definitely worth keeping as a horses for courses option.
Absolutely.
I would praise his performance, but I don't condone the bullying of small children
More importantly, what those stats dont show us is how many times we won the ball from poor passes created by Fellainis pressure on the ball carrier and his relentless shutting down of space in the middle of the park.
