Fellaini the forward

In a strange and bold move by Louis van Gaal, Maroane Fellaini was played up front against Cambridge.

LVG did explain that this choice was made in order to utilise Fellaini’s height – which did pay off – but let’s hope this is a one off.

Fellaini has a much brighter future at Old Trafford than it appeared a few months ago, but if LVG doesn’t want to play Rooney as a forward, playing Fellaini as one really is, to quote the Dutchman himself, a different biscuit!
