The only glaring mistake that cost us a goal I can remember was when he came on against Everton and gave away a penalty.
Fellaini (on his way) out? | Duncan Castles: Fellaini agrees new two year deal

Booooo
It's not. The penalty against Everton - which i might add is about the only time he's cost us a goal, is brought up constantly.
Again, Matic cost 40m last summer. Salah cost Liverpool 40m.
The idea that even a squad player would cost at least 60m is laughable.
His recent comments in the press would suggest otherwise. I agree with the rest of your post though, he isn't good enough to be a United player. Plus he is a constant reminder of David Moyes - that reason alone should be enough to see him sold.
I put it out online the same weekend he scored two against Palace
Ah well. At least......
Nope, can't up with anything good to say about this.

Mmm respectfully have to disagree besides a couple games his first season showing potential, the last 4-5 years the guys dedication to staying in shape makes Luke Shaw look whippet thin.
Don't think Johnny's been cracking the math books like he told his parents.
You spend £60m on a player, he ain't sitting on the bench unless there's a major problem with their performances. Not in 2008 or 2018.
fecking hell
It's the scout's fault the manager got the wrong players. It's the coaches fault we can't attack better. It's the Chief analyser's fault we can't break teams down. Jose is blameless and is just a victim suffering at the hands of Manchester United.
And it's not like other more regular players haven't cost us either, I can remember off the top of my head two Herrera red cards which we then failed to win both matches (Burnley and Chelsea) and he gets nowhere near the flak Fellaini does.
Gives 100% when he is on the field, but feck me can't we be allowed to aspire to something better?
Because Herrera can play football.
Did they make it to the final? Infact did they make it to the semi’s? You act like the Sevilla team and manger haven’t changed from their Europa dominance.
It's just a stick to beat him with, added with the fact he came on to sure up the game it cements it in peoples mind
. He also won us the game against Arsenal, so it's swings and roundabouts. Actually looking how much he even played last season, it was minimal. I'm not happy about it and rather we'd let him go this season, but if it means we spend more elsewhere - fine.It doesn't matter really. His %100 is not enough for a club like United. This doesn't make any sense. I am sick of it.
If there is a football god out there, it is enough. We had our share of misfortunes in the last 5 years. Give us a break.
Finished 7th in the league with -9 GD. Cracking side.
I've never gotten that sense - I think he looks lost at times out there, and to be honest, just not up to our standards. However, I've always felt he's one of the few players on our current team to show any kind of spine.
No we wouldn’t, this is way over the top. Fellaini is a 29-year old back up midfielder who probably wouldn’t be first team player at any top club in Europe. They don’t cost ‘at least £60m’.
We just bought Fred for £52m, he is a Brazil international, 26 years old and will likely play in the first team.
81 points would have been enough to win the Premier League twice in the last ten seasons. It would not "normally" win you a title at all.
What he does cost us is the inability to play through the midfield and he affords the option to start lumping the ball forward.
I've said this many times before. No club with aspirations of being the best would ever even sign Fellaini, we're giving him a contract which takes him close to a testimonial.
I wonder if RAWK have a ‘RedCafe goes into meltdown’ thread.
They’ll be loving this.
I agree with you. Funny how we don’t trust our players to play even like England. I mean we have 1/3 of England’s midfield anyway. It’s not like Pogba can’t perform like Delle Ali. It’s also pretty hard to get overrun in midfield when you have the ball too.
I wasn’t referring to his footballing ability
The only thing I can take from this, is we are selling him for a fee, rather than letting him go. That's the plus side. 13m in January from wherever.
At least that's one less goal we're were almost always going to concede next season avoided.
*Edit - now watch him score an own goal first game he plays.

Probably because at this rate Mourinho might not make it past Christmas.
Don't despise him like some on here but I would've liked for him to leave so we can freshen up the midfield with another signing.
There’s no way you have seen all United matches and come to that conclusion.
If it was not for Mykitarian having played for us he would be right up there for one of the laziest players to pull on the shirt.
No club will pay £13 million for him when they could have got him for free. On top of that, seeing as no one wanted to pay the wages he was asking for, if we do get a few for him, we’ll almost certainly be paying a % of his salary.
One can only hope, I'm still baffled as to why we paid more for him than we should have, if we signed him like a week earlier.
Hard to believe it will soon be 2019 and we're still going to be watching Young and Valencia crossing for Fellaini.
My goodness.
My goodness.
Yes and City had a normal PL campaign did they?
Can't wait to bring him on in the 70th minute when we are chasing a game (hoof to Fellaini incoming) or trying to hold on to a result (enter Fellaini to clumsily give away a penalty). Buzzing.
This typifies how badly this club has lost its way post Ferguson,we have a limited CEO and a archaic manager,result = we are re-signing a substandard player who lets be honest would not have got anywhere near any of Fergusons teams.
It's ok I've seen the new contract and he is not allowed inside his own penalty area.
I'm fine with this. He signed the length of contract (2 years) we wanted and offered from the outset. It's obvious that once again Mourinho is worked within the constraints of a budget, so not having to spend significant sums to add another CM is a good thing so long as we use it to effectively fill needs at RW, LB and CB with the former two being higher priorities IMO.
Fellaini will be replaced next summer.

Sorry, but when did he impart this grand effect on our play? did he do it in all of the 5 times he started for us in the prem? or the 11 sub appearances? The reason we would start lumping the ball to him anyway is that we were incapable of breaking teams down playing through the midfield. To place the problem at his door is laughable.
