In de Premier League wist Manchester United de topper tegen Liverpool zaterdagmiddag met 2-1 te winnen. Bondscoach Roberto Martinez zal met plezier naar dit duel hebben gekeken. Romelu Lukaku speelde immers een meer dan degelijke partij en Marouane Fellaini maakte zijn rentree na weken blessureleed.
De boomlange middenvelder kwam in de tweede helft uitblinker Marcus Rashford vervangen. In eerste instantie kwam er heel wat kritiek op deze ingreep van José Mourinho, maar de Portugees behaalde wel zijn gelijk. De inbreng van de Rode Duivel zorgde immers voor wat meer defensieve stabiliteit en liet United toe om de nodige duels te winnen. Op de sociale media kreeg de Rode Duivel dan ook heel wat lof naar zich toe gezwierd.

Thank God Fellaini made good use of his afro today! I must confess I was a bit scared when I saw him coming on. Overall, a wonderful result from the lads! @ManUtd well-done! #MUNLIV

Have to praise how good Fellaini was after he came on, sublime hold up play, drew fouls, headed away almost everything that came into his box

Fellaini sub was a masterstroke. Jose again proving the doubters wrong

He gets so much criticism, but when under pressure defending your box, there aren’t many better than Fellaini to win big headers and blocks.

If #NorthKorea ever launch a #NuclearWarhead we can just get #Fellaini to #head it away.

Don’t care what people say, Fellaini is an absolute work horse ⚫️⚪️????

I hope Fellaini signs an extension and stay for another year. He is such an asset during times like these.

I hope this shuts a lot of people up & they realise that Jose will always know best. Firstly no Pogba & Martial. We all wanted Shaw to play & Young was arguably motm. Fans moan about Fellaini yet he changed the game completely. Saved Rashford from being sent off. Jose Masterclass
