Of course it's wrong to boo your own player. How the feck is that helping anyone? It ruins the morale within the team when they see their own fans booing their own players. You're supposed to support them through thick and thin, even if you don't like them. Complain about them on forums, whatever. If you go to the actual stadium to see them live, it's an embarrassment to boo your own team.If my memory serves me right then Gary Nev has criticised his performances numerous times and described some of his play as terrible and not good enough...during commentary which is televised in every country on Earth!
But a few fans booing and suddenly it's wrong!
I like Mourinho alot more than some of our fans!
It's possible he does though, he obviously had Fellaini warming up with a view to possibly bringing him on. A regular change for Jose is to bring a winger off stick a CM on and push Herrera out wide. He ended up bringing Bailly on in midfield instead which is a first.
You honestly think Mourinho is basing his decisions on who is being booed?
If his post match comments were anything to go off, I think Jose thought you lot booing today were a massive pain in the arse.
meh! he got a few boos when he warmed up and twice as many cheers when he came on!
He is an awful footballer and shouldn't be anywhere near a United first team.
It's almost like some have a fantasy idea stuck of what things were like years ago.
Any manager that bases his decisions on whether the crowd boos or cheers, needs immediate sacking.
Good on Mourinho for backing a player wearing the club's shirt.
Apparently the match going fans only have the right to boo, and the arm chair fans are the problem, but what they see is not what they like they have a right they pay for the ticket, the same fans who have given our other 2 managers the full backing apart from a few crazy moments like sack moyes from a plane. They have booed giggs for christ sake, and PPL are shocked with fellaini?

Remember at the beginning of the season when we were starting him as first-choice with Pogba in a midfield two? 
I think that is the crucial aspect people miss.
It wasn't like he was booed when he was in the game, the fans were booing the idea of bringing him on again to see the game out when it's blatantly obvious he's completely the wrong man for the job.
Now I do think Fellaini is deeply unpopular in general, I for one am sick of the sight of him, but I think it's more nuanced than him just getting booed because everyone hates him.

When we won three consecutive games?
People that booed him are lame as fek. He's UTD player, they should show support.
We shouldnt boo him, but sell him
I don't particularly like booing but some of the reaction here is wierd.
Why should you show support for a player you don't want at your club?
How should fans show their displeasure, should they always pretend they are fine with every decision?
Dou you guys prefer fans whistle?
Moyes's tenure slightly changed my opinion on the topic. I used to be completely against booing but fans have the right to some sort of protest against things they don't like.
Mourinho has identified that he shouldn't be starting for a team with top four aspirations, let alone title winning aspirations.
The question is: Will he sell him? Looks much more likely that Schneiderlin leaves.

Mate bash him on social networks, wait for him in front of training ground or something like that. I want Fellaini out and wish he never came here but booing a player on your home turf whilst trying to wrap the game up isn't helping anyone and it's sending a bad picture.
That's far worse imo.
And we won nearly all those games.Remember at the beginning of the season when we were starting him as first-choice with Pogba in a midfield two?
Funny that.
What?!?

Bet you didn't think this through eh?

He's clearly not good enough but he actually played pretty ok at the start of the season.
To be honest I was just being bratty and bantering tbh. Not that I don't think he's shite, but he obviously played well during that period.
All you guys calm down.
The part with him being a prick.
You achieved absolutely nothing. You made United fans look classless to a vast majority of us on here and very likely turned off our other players on the pitch. Your booing did not have an impact on any decisions as Mourinho or the management doesn't really give a crap either.
Now you have every right to boo when you pay money to go watch a game but we all have the right to judge you based on that and tell you what exactly you're achieving.
The booing led to Mourinho dedicating the win to Fellaini. Given how stubborn our manager is, it wouldn't surprise me if the substitution was made to prove a point to the idiots who booed Fellaini as he was warming up.
One thing new arrivals to Manchester United always mention is how supportive the fans are. When Martial misses a shot, we sing his name. When De Gea loses a bit of concentration, we try to perk up his confidence again. We chant every time a player makes a mistake so as to show we still have faith in him. Even though the booing was only directed at Fellaini, the act itself will undermine part of what makes United such a family club. It's sad that the Stretford End had to cheer in order to drown out the boos from the daytrippers. That isn't what Old Trafford should be about.

How do you know that it was only day trippers?

And why is that worthy of a green smiley? We were basically winning all those games - it was some of the best midfield performances we've seen this season.
Some of the best midfielder performances? From Fellaini? Bloody hell.
Those first 3 games we were excellent in the midfield. Whether it was because of Pogba or Fellaini or DDG I have not analysed but I liked what I saw.
Can you name even one player who didn't show up? Seriously.
Do you apply that to everything in life? I've paid for it so I'll boo in the theatre, restaurant etc?
People being adverse to one of our players being booed by thousands is not 'wierd'.
Also, booing a manager who is responsible for end results over a prolonged period is not the same as booing a player for a single mistake. Man the stretching of arguments people in here are trying to do to justify this is pathetic.
Im intrigued which players you lot think we can boo? Rooney? Lingard? Depay? Rojo? Rashford missed a shot lots boo him next huh
Di Maria for one and not once did our fans give him a hard time.
I'm talking about the mental toughness of Fellaini. He was jeered in a pre-season and many expected him to leave at that point. Yet he put that behind him and went on to have a decent season, scoring some important goals. Now you name me the players who have gone through a similar scenario and didn't down tools.
Di Maria wasn't vilified by the fans, he never wanted to play for us in the first place and went to Paris as soon as it was possible.
It's not common for footballers to have conflicts with their fans. Maldini had conflict with Curva Sud - don't think that he ever considered not showing up. Icardi is disliked by the Inter fans but he still plays and scores for them. Yoan Gouffran had lots of problems with Newcastle fans, but he refused the loan deals and now is starting for them in Championship.
As some on here have said, they weren't booing Fellaini himself but the move to bring him on when he has shown to give away clumsy fouls all over the pitch. I really don't get the moral outage over here. You would think someone killed his dog and smeared his shirt with the blood.
As for the restaurant comment, I would talk to the manager and actually have my word be heard. That comparison could not be far further away.
There's absolutely no difference between booing the decision and the player, i think he got the point and so did the rest of the players apparently. They now know thats how they'll be treated after a mistake.
And the comparison is fine, you're saying rather than resorting to a public outburst you'd have a direct word. Well if you feel that strongly about your opinion being heard there's plenty of ways you could contact Jose/Fellaini as opposed to petty public embarrassment. Too much effort though and prob not as much fun tho eh?
You have a high prick threshold.
Schweinsteiger literally didn't show up from March onwards last season. Sat on his arse and went gallivanting with his bird and watched tennis. Then when the Euros came round, he magically got himself fit.
Contrast the love for Schweini with that of Fellaini. Someone who actually helped us get 4th in that run of games from Spurs to Chelsea, and whose Semi Final goal last season had us on our way to the first serious post-Fergie silverware... Honestly, the "fans" who booed Fellaini and most likely sucked every bit of precum out of BFS' japs eye this season, need their heads banged together.
Lets not exaggerate plenty of players have made mistakes this season and every other season, and the vast, vast majority of them didn't get booed. The match going fans won't start booing players for making mistakes in previous games all of a sudden.
The booing of one player though it's happened in the past is a rare occurrence.
