I certainly need evidence of all these games he has cost us. As you're so eager to talk on his behalf, feel free to step in and list them.

I wanted him to leave but he’s nowhere near as bad as some people here are making out. People talking about him as if he’s Ali Dia or something.
It's reassuring so many people see this for the awful news it is.
Some absolute nutjobs on here earlier celebrating this.

As much as I want him gone this could be the silver lining to it, I'd much rather get say Alderweireld/Sandro/Willian & keep Fellaini than no Alderweireld/Sandro/Willian because we have to replace Fellaini
Slows our game down. Hardly scores or creates. Then I question myself. How has he been given games by Moyes, LvG, Belgium, and Mourinho. Most of us must be missing something obvious?
Some sense in the world after all. Those blind supporters or so called supporters need to be shut down.
Delighted with the news.
He can be useful on the odd occasion with real shithouse tactics - putting his big melon on the end of something. About it.
Hes tall and we can hoof it to him when their tactics fail and we need a last resort. Only they do it far too often so refuse to fix the problem in the first place
How dare you not put your full support behind a player who always gives 100% for the shirt etc etc.
Still trying to concoct scenarios where this re-signing makes sense from more than just a 'need warm bodies' and 'can maybe get 15-20m for him next summer'. If the latter were true, then surely someone would have offered him a fat signing bonus and snapped him up four days from now...
This is also a good point. I don't mind having Fellaini as a squad player as he has proven useful. However I find the way he handled the contract situation thoroughly distasteful and wouldn't have been sad to see the back of him.
It's not so much glaring errors, although he's provided them too idiotic penalty against Everton, awful backpass against Leicester off the top of my head.
It's the fact that if he starts we're playing with a midfelder who can't pass the ball so we're immediately struggling to control the game, and if we bring him on he's stuck up front and we play shit hoofball to him which almost never works anyway.
Look at his performance against Sevilla in the CL this season for example. He didn't directly make any errors leading to goals but he was fecking dreadful.
His huge weaknesses are not compensated for by scoring 3 or 4 important goals in 5 years.
I find it hard to believe that United fans could turn their backs on a player who scored a PL goal every 152 minutes.
:P
:P
Highlight of our summer. I really hate this .
Joke of a decision, rather give pereira his minutes.
Do these last resort tactics even work? I'd love to know from stat guru.
fantastic, now lets give Darmian a new deal as well.
Spot on, worst than those blind supporters are the ones who fail with their rubbish attempts at sarcasm and fishing, they need to be clapped down mate.
Sarcasm never translates well in to text.
Sometimes, but it's often relative to how bad our plan A was looking before he came on.
It's a conundrum of which the greatest scientific minds in the known world have yet to solve. Still, they soldier on for all our sakes.
Brave men & women of the scientific world we salute you.
I wasn't being sarcastic!
I hate him as much as its possible to hate one of your own players, whilst remembering that football is just a game and appreciating that he is only looking after his own interests.
He has taken this club for a ride since he arrived and now nobody else is willing to pay his ridiculous wages demands, not to mention no elite club in Europe being remotely interested, we are caving in to this moron.
It's so ill advised of Jose to keep him at the club and he rightly deserves to fall on his sword for this kind of decision.
We are scarily heading towards another season of abject failure of which this is the most symbolic precursor.

Im not glad I'm just not going in complete meltdown like some of you here. He probably won't even play that much but can he an option from the bench. And the funds which would be used for a new CM can be used elsewhere as they should.
Ok I will try and see the positives from this in that hopefully that means another 3 quality signings where we really need them.
Will be annoyed if that doesn't happen now.

The club has said nothing, I don't believe he has signed a new deal
Find it very strange that he’s waiting till the 1st to make an announcement on his future, the day his contract expires.
as if it is not obvious to anyone that all your contributions here stop at jumping around the threads with the hope of catching some anti-Jose fans with poorly executed fishing.why do we need that option? do Madrid, City, Barcelona, Bayern, PSG do not have a target man to lump balls up to when they need a goal. the fact none of them would sniff at him on a free says it all.
Worked exactly as intended against Arsenal tbf! And he has had his moments as much as I hate him. But people talk about him as if hoofing the ball is the only way to chase a game, forgetting how we did it for years with Sir Alex or how every other big side does it. Theres a time for long ball when chasing the game, but that's usually last 5 minutes and you just throw a cornerback up there when all other tactics fail. That's what annoys me with Mourinho and having Fellaini. Just resorts to long ball so early.
ThisWell at least the comments on United twitter account when the announcement is made will be priceless.
It might crash to be fair.
Hope Jose takes his lover boy with him when he fecks up and gets the inevitable sack.
I've seen a lot of people say that and I'm not really sure why, he seems to play an often lot.
I think he missed a lot of games last year because he was injured for most of the season. He started against Sevilla in one of our biggest games of the season and if he'd signed the new contract I imagine he'd have played in the FA Cup final too.
I think he'll get plenty of minutes.
Didn't really last season. Just seems to play in inappropriate games more so (e.g. Sevilla).
Yet you're the one quoting me and I didn't even say anything to you. Poor finishing? Not as poor as your crying whole damn day.
Only because he was out injured for most of it. If he'd stayed fit he'd have played a lot I think.
Like I said, I think if he'd signed the new contract last season he'd have played in the Cup Final.
Fellaini has his uses and I actually wont hsve been this pissed had he signed his deal this Jan, but the fact that he has been keeping the club and fans in the dark and acting as if he is some big shot and then we after all that give this idiot a contract hurts me.
Anyways what's done is done, one good thing this does is, now Jose has even less excuses. Do or perish and take your lover boy with you. I am also someway glad he did not join arsenal as he surely would have got them some important points.
