Asides from some headers Fellaini has offered nothing. Our poor shape and openness at the back is due to his roaming.
Poor.

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?

Poor.
He's been ok. There have been far worse players on the pitch like Baily
Been absolutely dreadful so far.
I'd have played Schweinsteiger tonight and Fellaini on Sunday. Think that would suited each better.

Bailly has been the only one worse. Ibra has given Fellaini a run, but overall, it's Bailly, Fellaini, Ibra, in that order of crapness for me.
He should play 90 mins. Who wants to be 17th best team in Europe. fecking Mickey bindipper cup. Shite fecking tournament deserves players like Fellaini level.
I do agree he's been poor but it's the hate he's getting that's unfair. He's a player who gives everything when on the pitch and people should see he's trying.
It's a typically shite Fellaini performance. Why expect anything different
I mean...what the hell? He's not capable of pressing, he's not capable of tracking back, he's not particularly good at tackling, he's leaving acres of space to be exploited...he's even not that dominant in the air having in mind his stature. You would expect from someone with those traits to actually be able to provide some magnificent offensive contribution to warrant his existence in the squad at all but...he's poor at passing, he's slowing every attack down, he's slow, he had less touches than my grandpa had in bed last night on top of that. What is the point of him? I mean...we look more sound defensively with Mkhi instead cause the guy actually has decent workrate, presses, tackles, covers space and tracks back while being Maradona in the attack compared.
Take him out for Schweini or Darmian with Blind moving to DM...just do anything.
I would give my all on the pitch as well but that still doesn't mean I should ever get near it.

You think it's coincidence that we look like garbage every time he's on the pitch? He simply drags the level of the entire team down. Pogba and Herrera look lost cause they are unable to cover miles of space he leaves to be exploited or his lack of tracking back. Bailly and Smalling look exposed for the same thing and that pulls fullbacks into bad positions as well. Like a chain reaction.

But that's not enough surely?
I don't think anyone has ever accused him of not trying hard enough, it's his lack of quality that is the issue.
Passes backwards, gives possession away all over the place positionally. Rinse and repeat.
Ah no are we back to calling people 'haters' when they criticise players having a shocker in their 'Player Performance Threads'? Sigh, how juvenile.
Let's just be honest; he's been utter shite tonight. Others have too and are also being criticised.

Do you dislike Manchester United because so many of us here like it? Dislike towards Fellaini is based on the fact that with him on the pitch we always play worse with him, usually, being one of the worst individual performers.
Well then let me play for United.
I'll try my hardest week in week out and give everything.
We won't return to the top tier of European clubs if we cater players who try hard but clearly lack quality.
Saying 'he's trying' isn't exactly a ringing endorsement, is it?
He's painfully, painfully average and it baffles me that some people can't see it.
Yes he's trying, although its very fair to say that he has been poor tonight, doesn't mean that he is hated and is far from the only one who hasn't been playing well this evening.
Get Groot off pronto.
Scapegoat, as usual.
Can't blame Fellaini, blame Mourinho. He's just so pointless in a game like this. What's the thinking behind it? He'll win a few headers and offer help with set pieces...I can't think of anything else. And it's not as if we've got a small team on.
It's difficult to think of any other top team that hinders themselves with such a limited player.

That we are an injury away from him playing shows, there are still problems.
He really is awful 
did he honestly sign an extension as well? My word.
did he honestly sign an extension as well? My word.So it's impossible to criticise Fellaini without him being the scapegoat? How does that even make sense?
Might be but Fellaini does not deserve the dislike. Blame Moyes, LvG, Mourinho.
Let's all queue outside OT, I'm sure we will try at least
I like all our players, some more than others.
I'm too lazy to make gifs but take a look at his actions when the opposition's attackers have the ball around our box. He literally just stood there, looking at them while our defenders tried to press them like crazy (and looking a bit like headless chickens because you can't press if your teammates are just standing near doing nothing).
Although if we're going to be fair, it's an improvement on his last year Europa League performances - at least he didn't walk the other way
When he plays well, people disappear from this thread. When he doesn't, they rush to come here.
sigh... terrible
Such a rubbish comment. Right, every time any player plays badly, let's not criticise them. Heaven forbid.
He's been rubbish. Absolute tosh. We're in his thread, complaining about him. Go look at the Ibra thread. You'll see the same stuff.
Guess he's being scapegoated too.
He is such bad player it is just annoying. I have no idea why he is still at this club.
Waste of space, if we aren't going to hit long balls to his chest or cross the ball a lot there is no point playing him in this role.
His pressing is terrible, passing too limited and surely he will be taken off.

Guess Mourinho agrees with the 'haters'.
Subbed off for Lingard.
Mourinho is hater to
At least he tried, eh?
You can think all you want of his performance, but would prefer if people would stop call him stupid names.
Does rubbish count as a stupid name?
Subbed off! Yay
Is this the beginning of the end?
Is this the beginning of the end?
I would prefer if the term 'hate' and 'hater' stop being used because a player is being criticised for an abysmal performance. An assertion that our manager clearly agrees with.
Hater!!!
Not for me.
