Best known for his floppy hair and incredible heading abilities, Marouane Fellaini’s name has fallen off the radar in recent months.
The Belgium international left Manchester United in January this year to join Chinese Super League side Shandong Luneng. The move ended a five-and-a-half year spell at Old Trafford, after he arrived from Premier League rivals Everton back in the summer of 2014.
However, it appears Fellaini hasn’t forgotten about his former club, and the 31-year-old delivered a damning verdict on the Red Devils’ decision to get rid of Jose Mourinho last December.
As quoted by The Telegraph, he said: “They brought in one of the best managers in the world in Jose Mourinho, he wanted to build a team and they sacked him. Mourinho, for the first season, he did amazingly, he improved the team, won things.
“OK, the second season was a bit more difficult, but he tried, you know, and did his best to help the team. Then they decided to sack him.”

After hearing their former ace’s comments, United fans flooded to Twitter to share their thoughts about the matter.
Many supporters of the Manchester side hailed the Belgian for speaking out on Mourinho’s sacking, and insisted that he is “spot on” with his words.
Some Red Devils supporters remarked that Fellaini’s “legendary status” at the club has now been restored following what he had to say.
