In the last couple of games, Fellaini has actually looked close to the player he was at Everton.
Now, against City he has a chance to prove that he is not just a flash in the pan but someone who can seriously build his presence in the first team and become a really important player for the Red Devils.
Rumours of a January move are actually dying down – and the fact that is happening at all says a great deal about Fellaini’s performances in the last couple of weeks.
Against City, there is no better way to show that he is no longer the joke of Old Trafford.
