This feels good, now time to move out Valencia, Jones and Rojo
I thank Fellaini for his service and wish him the best in China.
Since Ole has got here its nothing but good news and much needed changes are finally getting done

Regardless of his time here, he always stayed professional and gave it his all on the pitch. United fans should never boo their own players and unfortuntaly he had his bad spell of days here, mainly because he reflected Moyes and that name still brings trauma around here. Good luck to him.
He's gone! 
Well, I was annoyed and frustrated when we signed him. He was annoying and frustrating to watch, but he at least showed some character with some important goals. But i'm glad we've finally ended this chapter. Thanks for the hard work Fellaini.

End of an era, end of the Fellaini years.
Good luck to him, must be a nice payday for him.

Time for a change of thread title. Or we wait for an official announcement from the club?
I'll hold the celebrations until there is official confirmation.
Could anybody please tell me exactly when anybody booed Fellaini
I keep reading it over and over again that he has been booed by his own fans.
No he has not! Ever.

Could be, but it may be a case of thinning out the squad to make way for youngsters. I had Fellani as 7th choice CM for us, 8th if people wanted to class Mata as a midfielder.
Either way, I think we have enough squad depth in that position and not a huge risk in relation to the benefit of getting a 100k+ player off the books
I'd be looking at Valencia (assuming Darmian stays for now) and Rojo next. They could leave tomorrow and it would have a minimal impact on squad depth
Are they credible source?
If so, I'm waiting for their tweet...
He got slated a lot, but he's had a career most players can only dream of. It had been 25 years ago that Standard Liège won the championship, a midfield of Fellaini, Defour and Witsel made that possible. He had a great time at Everton and a dream transfer to United. He has played almost 90 times for his country, scoring 18 goals.
All the best!
All the best!
Pretty sure it happened after he conceded that penalty against Everton (?).
It happened in a preseason game vs Valencia if I remember correctly.
Oh, he was, Everton and penalty..
Yes he was. In a pre season game apparently. Can't remember it was this season or last
Him and Nani were often booed by the fans. Nani not for his quality but ability to frustrate with some of his play and decision making
Definitely the next home game after giving away the pen v Everton.
Yes he has Dory!
It definitely happened, i remember it being discussed here as well. Cant remember which match exactly though.
He was a good pro, tried his best, had some good moments and shipped some undue vitriol at times. No particular ill will towards him at all.
That said, he should never have been signed as he fundamentally wasn't good enough. Beyond that, he didn't fit in any set up that was worth having. Every time I saw us bringing Fellaini on to change things it was a reminder of the low ebb we were at as a side, which is why I'll forever associate him with the terrible football of the last few years.
If you told me a few weeks ago that both Mourinho and Fellaini would be gone before the end of January.......

And then he scored at home against someone, (don't remember which team), and jumped on Jose.
Was it against Young Boys at OT? I remember he scored
Remember a pre season game when Van Gaal just came and everyone was booing him and then he scored and Van Gaal gave a wry smile. There was talk of him being shipped out that season. I guess Van Gaal saw something.
These post ferguson years will come to be known as the Fellaini Years.
Yep, came on as a sub and was booed.
no, God forbid, stop saying that crap,
will be called Post SAF years, or pre Ole years
If Ole can now get rid of Jones he should be knighted.
Just a reminder that we were linked with Kroos, Fabregas, Bale, Cristiano, Thiago in the summer of 2013 but ended up signing only Fellaini for a price above his actual release clause, on the deadline day for £28m, after we had a bid rejected for signing both him AND Baines for the same amount.
In the summer.
Rojo and Darmian first. Jones is still a useful squad player
We have a lot of work to do this summer, both incoming and outgoing and the DOF situation as well.
I hope our board is up to the task.
nah, chinese super league starts in a month. Its a now or never situation. If we don't sell him in this window, they might not be back in the summer and we end up stuck with him for another season since no one else in europe wants him.
Darmian is to football what Timmy Mallett is to music but i'll give him this, unlike the other two at least he seems to stay fit most of the time.
Wait, is he actually gone? Is it finally over?
He very much was in one preseason. Think it was under Van Gaal. Then he scored on the opening day of the PL and celebrated like 'feck you' to the fans that had been booing him.
98% of the clubs in Europe would want him, they just can't afford him
I am surprised that people don't remember this.
I think all three are bad in their each unique way.
He has. I don't remember who were facing but he has for sure.
I bet you can't name 3 CL teams from a top 4 league that 'want' him.
They can't afford him because what he think's he should be paid and what he's actually worth are light years apart. There's only China that's willing to meet him on his own evaluation of himself.
