U-turn! Man Utd fans flock to Twitter after Chelsea clash to praise Marouane Fellaini
HE'S rubbish, he's not 'our kind' player, he was a panic buy, let's cut our losses.
Most Manchester United fans will admit to berating Marouane Fellaini with some of these comments, but after a year of misery - the big Belgian seems to have transformed perceptions.
United supporters took to Twitter to praise the former Toffee stars' performances, many branding him a 'different player' to last year.
Fellaini pressed Chelsea's midfielders all game, linked-up play and broke down attacks, and his contributions didn't go unnoticed.
And after a year of toiling away from the bench, Louis van Gaal could elect to make the 27-year-old a permanent starter for the Red Devils.
@fellainiM voted MOTM yesterday great to see him coming good in a @ManUtd shirt #RedDevil ???????? pic.twitter.com/RoXEEOF2NC
