Man Utd star offers tactical advice to Louis van Gaal
MANCHESTER UNITED midfielder Marouane Fellaini believes Louis van Gaal is playing him out of position.
Marouane Fellaini wants Louis van Gaal to play him as a defensive midfielder
The towering Belgian joined United in 2013, but failed to live up to his £27.5million price-tag in his first season under David Moyes.
Louis van Gaal's arrival in the summer sparked new life into the 27-year-old, despite playing him in a more advance role.
The former Everton man insists his best position is in the heart of the midfield, but is happy to play as a striker if needs be.
I see myself as a defensive midfielder
"Yes I see myself as a defensive midfielder, I feel comfortable playing there and if the manager decides he wants to play me there, I will," Fellaini told Goal.
"At the moment I play more up front.
"I score goals so in football it's important. I’m happy to play there and win some important games."
