Moyes: Fellaini was thrown in too early
David Moyes has expressed regret over his use of Marouane Fellaini, with
the Belgian having struggled since his move from Everton.
The Belgian and the German were the focus of engine-room transfer deadline day business back in September.
Arsenal’s club-record £43m splash on Ozil from Real Madrid stunned the Premier League and has inspired the Gunners.
United manager David Moyes’ long summer pursuit for his former Everton midfielder ended in the final minutes of the window with the Reds having to pay £27.5m for the 25-year-old.
But, while Ozil hit the ground running in England after being imported from La Liga helping to propel Arsenal to the top of the league, Fellaini has struggled to make an impact at Old Trafford.
Last Tuesday in San Sebastian his sending off for two yellow cards against Real Sociedad put the tin lid on a difficult opening to his United career.
