MANCHESTER UNITED NEED FELLAINI

When rumours went round on twitter that United were on the verge of agreeing a deal for Fellaini, I for once was happy. Not because, I believed in them but because Moyes was now looking to solve one problem that has affected the team for several years now. It is now clear that Moyes has identified our midfield as the Achilles tendon of the team.

I sincerely hope and pray that he signs him. Manchester United may have won the league comfortably  but yet the jigsaw still seems incomplete.
Missing piece? A complete midfielder.
It is obvious, based on the last two seasons, that United lack a true warrior in the midfield. That's why United have looked vulnerable, lightweight, and easily bullied out of games against opposing teams with dominant midfielders, last season, most notably Dembele and Fellaini. 

While Carrick is a good reader of the game, and an excellent passer of the ball, there is enough evidence from the last few seasons that United need someone more mobile and dynamic to either play alongside him or instead of him in midfield. Scholes has now retired, Anderson is yet to cement a place in the team even though injuries may account for this, Fletcher is sadly still not match-fit and Cleverley is still very inexperienced.
All through last summer, we have been scouting for a twinkle toed replica of Andres Iniesta or Xavi Hernandez but with the arrival of Shinji Kagawa, all we need is a lay-it-all-on-the line, marauding combative and a buccaneering midfielder who has an insatiable hunger for success.

And this is where the irrefutable Marouane Fellaini steps up: the answer. The Belgian was been depicted as ‘unplayable’ and at times he is. He can be  utilised in a defensive or offensive role, both of which he is equally proficient.Fellaini would offer United more of an aerial presence.

But it wasn't just the height and aerial strength of Fellaini that made him such a tough matchup. Those are nice physical attributes to have, but it was his touch, vision and refined technical ability that made him unplayable at times. Even though Fellaini loves life, he still harbored hopes of playing at the very highest level:

"If I have got to go, I will go, if not, I repeat, I am at Everton,' the 24-year-old told Belgian radio station RTBF.
"I am ambitious; I want to play in the Champions League or in the Europa League.

United could do a lot worse than sign someone who could dominate the engine room for years. Simply put, Fellaini is a big personality who is hard to miss and the type of player who leads by example and can inspire his teammates to put in even more effort.
