You have to wonder why the Anderlecht fans jeered when he came on, seeing as his introduction improved their chances tenfold.

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) was joined by comedian Ali Woods to look back at the best and worst moments of a rollercoaster season with the annual United Hour Awards.
Has Ten Hag been sacked yet? We're not sure and we hope not, but it's looking more likely as the days pass.
Who should replace him and why is it taking so long to make a decision?

Nah,play him like LvG used him in midfield 3 with point back,he can chest those balls around box as long as wants,i dont care but when i see him in that midfield two to be a player for build a play vs parked bus or defending...just fecking stop
I play football manager so, by that definition, I am and can!But..but you're not a manager, how can you possibly criticise?
Seriously though, everyone can express their opinion.
I'm so sick of some of you guys in this thread. Stop the hate please.
Grimly predictable that we would concede once he came and got his treacle covered boots on the ball. Every week I think I must be mad, 3 managers in a row love him but he is so obviously crap!?!?
He was better than Pogba today. And he does score and tackle but nobody chooses to acknowledge it. He could score the winner in the CL final and everyone would still slate him. You can't win with some people.
No hate from me, but he's not being used properly. He's not a defensive midfielder and shouldn't be used as one.
Otherwise I like Fellaini, he should be used in other ways.
feck Moyes, feck Nevill.
He played for Liege back in Belgium. Still, I can understand Fellaini still being here, but Jose seems to love him which is weird.
I know, was trying to be funny.
The fact that so many people still defend this donkey baffles me.
Thanks for being rational and honest.
We barely scored goals, and yet Fellaini is the only one me to blame. Our "creative" players can't score and then you become vulnerable to individual mistakes. And in fact, others should be blamed for that goal too, but Fellaini is an easy target.
I hope he will be our captain next game.
This is Fellaini thread. There's plenty of room to talk about other players in their respectable threads.
People are not blaming him for lack of goals but because how he wasted all defensive effort that was also key to get a good result.
Fans like you are unbearable. You care more about individuals than you do about what's best for the club.
That's a lie. A big big lie.
I defend him of the abuse, but I don't think that he should be a starter. Nor I think that he is great. I just think that he is a good squad player.
Wum
He was the poor on the goal we conceded. Our poor finishing doesn't excuse him for that.
Wanting Fellaini to captain United either makes you a WUM or somebody who loves Fellaini more than United. Either way it's pathetic.
This is true and I agree.
I however would like to add that the defensive work by Fellaini on their goal was disgraceful. I can understand people like Zlatan (who was also bad today) thinking they're too big for tracking their man back but when you're as limited as Fellaini, you'd think you'd put in more effort, especially when you're been brought on to defend a lead.
I hope Mourinho goes back to Carrington, see the video of that goal and comes to the conclusion that we can use somebody else to close out games.
our team was winning until he came on the pitch
Ok, I wish you a good evening. I'm off for now.
He actually has Fellaini as the highest rated player
Probably works for fellaini's pr team so cant blame him for trying to prove that donkeys can fly
just not good enough
I don't have much of a problem with Fellaini, and he has many uses. But he is just not the man to bring on to see out a narrow win. When he comes on to do just that, he always seems to be the one to blame for the goal we inevitably concede.
He is a useful player, but he just seems to lack the concentration to see games out like that.
We should have kept turning the screw. We didn't need to sit back and take their blows.

Atrocious marking for the goal we conceded.
Deserves to be called out for it, it's not scapegoating. His poor marking cost us a goal which makes him liable in the end result.

I'm not sure it's a lack of effort tbf, he was defensively suspect at Everton too. I just don't think the positional sense, concentration and discipline required to be strong defensively is part of his game, whether he's trying his best of not.
Absolutely mental.
Bottom line with Fellaini, no other team with title aspirations would ever sign him, let alone have him halfway through his 4th season at their club. His few positives (and I fully acknowledge there are some) don't even begin to put a dent into his many negatives.
Crazy we signed him and crazy he's still here.
And I'll be perfectly honest, nobody could ever convince me otherwise.
What are they?
I can think of chesting the ball and nodding the ball in at the back post every 10 or 12 games.
What are his other uses?
I never noticed that. It proves he's just a wum then and not worth wasting time on.He actually has Fellaini as the highest rated player

It's like that nick fella who gave Rooney an average rating of 8.3 this season.
Well whatever it is, he's lacking. Why are we closing games out with him again?
When the only positive about you is your height you know you're a bad player.
We could stick Chris Smalling in midfield and tell him to pass to whoever happens to be beside him and you wouldn't know the difference. We need to sell Fellaini in the summer. He's awful.

He really should just stay up top and go nowhere near our goal.
They hate him because of his past.
His technique and passing are both good, better than he gets credit for. He has good touch and good at holding up the ball on the edge of the final third.
I'm not saying he should be starting regularly, but he is useful in certain games. But as a sub to hold on to a lead, he continues to be the worst option we have for that. I'd rather we brought on Herrera tonight and let him press the ball and break their momentum.
My issue with Fellaini is weird. I dont hate him or anything, and I dont fully blame him for the goal.
Its the fact that he keeps being used in the same circumstances and the same result occurs at the end.
Bringing him on when we are comfortable, dominating possession for the most part, and on the front foot is the worst idea, yet weve seen it numerous times.
