He really hasn't had a good season so far - and it's almost over. According to whoscored he's been our 15th best player overall. Not good enough. A hell of a lot better than that wimp Carrick though.

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik and Imran hold a long overdue conversation about United's awful league form with 1 win in 7. They discuss a disappointing draw at Bournemouth, a not so disappointing draw against Liverpool and a crushing defeat at Chelsea - Is time nearly over for Erik Ten Hag?
Then in a special second half of the pod, Nik welcomes Natalie ( https://twitter.com/natalie_17) to discuss the fortunes of Manchester United Women as they booked a place in the FA Cup Final after a historic first ever win vs. Chelsea.

What does "when in form" mean? He played well against West Ham, and was poor yesterday. Form would dictate he follows on from his WH game and does well yesterday. But he didnt. Hes just that type of player.
Its no coincidence weve done better when hes not in the team compared to when he is.
Even our football has been better when he hasnt been in the team compared to when he has.
Sometimes its not his fault given our players laziness of just hitting hopeless balls to him, but sometimes it is cos of his lack of ability.
So? The point is your comment was snidey. Why don't you say the same thing to Rashford, Rooney, Smalling, Blind and De Gea "decent performance against Championship side". Why do you need to mention championship side to give a praise on player?
What about WHU game? WHU isn't a championship side and you didn't give him a proper credit but you changed the topic to him being not good enough and the fact is not only him that is not good enough for United in our current squad. Even now your comment is still snidey. " if it makes you both feel any better".
My comment isn't "snidey", he did have a good game against a championship level side and in my view that's his level hence why I used that point in my original post.
You're hammering the point about him also playing well against WHU which I have agreed with you on.
I maintain he isn't good enough to play for us, I can't work out or whether you're disagreeing with me on this or not.
You're reading too much into my comment and splitting hairs.
First you called it decent and now it's good. You need to make up your mind mate!!
Like I said before do you need to add " Championship" to praise someone? Why didn't you do the same thing to other players as well in their thread?
Nope, I'm just saying you are changing the topic right away when @Walters_19_MuFc mentioned the WHU game. You didn't give him a proper credit when he talked about his performance vs WHU and instead you changed the topic to being not good enough.
Yeah true I am reading too much snidey comments of yours.
Let's just leave it at that. This discussion is dull and you're just repeating the same thing whilst splitting more and more hairs in the process.
For all his deficiencies at least he has a pair of bollocks unlike the vast majority of the spineless feckers.
I am repeating them because you just don't get with the fact how snidey your comments are.
Are you having trouble reading my posts?
Fellaini isn't the reason for our decline, but the fact that he's anywhere close to a United XI is simply quite symptomatic to our current position. It's not hard to comprehend what I'm writing, is it? Because you're arguing against no-one.
And Fellaini's been largely shit, bar a decent spell in Van Gaal's second season. It's not his fault, but he should really not be anywhere near a side of our ambitions (winning titles regularly).
I think Belgium (ranked 2nd team in the world) want him in their team don't they? I think you're being silly.
Answer me this: Will a side playing Marouane Fellaini in midfield consistently ever get close to winning a league title in a big league?
We both know the answer to that.
I sure hope so. We'll see.
Correct.
I disagree... He has a "pair of bollocks" when its cynical and snide. He'll snekily elbow a player off guard, but when the chips are down and other players need back up in a fracas - which has happened a few times this season - he's nowhere to be seen... Just like the rest of the senior players.
I am having trouble comprehending since you seem to be all over the place and you've not really got a clue what you're arguing about anymore. We get it, you don't think he's good enough but there isn't much moaning relentlessly is going to do come match-day. If the gaff picks the team and Fellaini is in it for whatever reason then there is not much you can do to stop that.
Continually coming up with half baked theories to do with players stature and worth to the team and trying to relate that to overall league position and hypothetical benchmarks for a league winning season is a pointless exercise. As is continuing to waste your breath talking about it as though it is some sage wisdom that you need to inform everyone of.
Everton 1:2 Man Utd
Take that, Everton fans who booed him for no reason.
All is forgiven!
Well done fro man.
That was great movement tbf to him. Excellently done.
Love when Fellaini shows up those slagging him off pregame.
Good goal. Been very good this game. Much more suited further up the pitch.
Good movement, scuffed finished. He's so much better the further up the pitch he is.
He's been fantastic. Always looks better when further forward and not in a midfield of two but today there isn't any of his usual sloppiness on the ball.
In FM language he is two stars out of five 'useful player'.
Definitely think he's a more useful player than Schneiderlin in a midfield three with another attacking midfielder (Rooney/Herrera).
Every time people are on his back he gets a goal or puts in a killer performance.
They should absolutely love him. Its rare to get 30m for a Championship level player
Continue to silence your critics, Fellaz. Good half from him.
Fairly good player.
Has been excellent on the ball so far. Far better than Rooney. Nothing much said about that though.
Hes been brilliant. Great fecking block.
MOTM by far.
Hilarious... how has he just come off??? van Gaal is an absolute clown.
Haven't always been his biggest fan, but gotta give credit where it's due. Great performance from Fellaini today. No doubt about it.
MOTM for me. He was everywhere today.
Excellent performance./
He was great today. One of his best games.
Monster of a game, really.
Absolutely immense today. Should have had two goals. Incredible block to stop Lukaku. Well played Fellaini. Well fecking played.
