Marouane Fellaini Becomes Key Manchester United Player For Louis Van Gaal & David Moyes Brags That He Knew Ex-Everton Man Would Rock Premier League For Red Devils

Football is often associated with beautiful football, but players like Marouane Fellaini are often forgotten about, given the fact that they do the 'dirty work,' making the game tick by. However, it hasn't been easy going for the ex-Everton man. He joined Manchester United for $40 million one year ago, and struggled under David Moyes, but recently he has been a huge hit for Louis Van Gaal. Now the former Red Devils boss has insisted that he knew he would rock the EPL for the club eventually. Can he keep his place or is he a stop-gap player for the franchise?

When talking about his toughness, Moyes explained, "It was all these qualities that convinced me to bring him to Manchester United, and he was very excited to come. It was a big move for him. Unfortunately for Marouane, he was the only player we brought in and because of that he was seen as the big signing. It meant he was under more pressure than he perhaps should have been. And when the season didn't start the way we all wanted it to, he came under a great deal of scrutiny, even if most of the attention was on me. I felt it was unfair that he was having to carry that extra pressure and expectation, and deal with extra criticism, simply because David Moyes had signed him."

Fellaini has started to settle and Moyes believed it was always going to take some time. He continued "I think he'd be the first to admit he maybe didn't always play as well as he could have done when he got the chance. But it was a big change for him, even if he did have previous Premier League experience, and he had come into a team that wasn't playing with as much confidence as we would have liked. I think that affected him as well."

Fellaini has been a revelation as of late, but one can wonder, will the Red Devils allow him a place in the team, or will he eventually be moved on for a 'fancier' type of player?
