The form of Fellaini during the World Cup has literally turned into a Premier League audition as Van Gaal tells Ed Woodward to sell the midfielder before the start of the new season. United will be looking to recoup the £27 million that David Moyes paid Everton for the midfielder last September. Allthough that looks highly unlikely after a disastrous debut season in a United shirt.
Van Gaal has made it very clear that he isn’t interested in keeping the midfielder and wants to create funds to purchase the players he wants to work with at Old Trafford next season. The news looks set to start as mass exodus of under performing players at United as the new boss wants to improve on last seasons disapointing 7th place finish.
David Moyes has always defended his choice to pay so much for the Belgian by previously saying that the 26 year old ‘was the stand-out player whenever he went to watch them play.’ However Fellaini can not seem to produce any sort of form when wearing a Manchester United shirt. It looks as if the Belgian will have to continue his form in the World Cup if he is get a move to a decent Premier League side.
With Belgium through to the Quarter Finals where a meeting with Argentina and inparticular Messi awaits it seems that the midfielder will not be joing his United team mates on their pre season tour of America, which begins on July 21st and concludes two weeks later. Therefore Fellaini will not have a chance to impress Van Gaal up close to try and change the Dutchman’s mind. Therefore it seems highly likely Fellaini will depart, but to where remains to be seen.
