Big gamble for the big man
In addition to Fellaini’s style of play addressing all the midfield problems of the English champions, signing him for £15 – £20 million is a huge gain for United. Rather than shelling out £40 million for the likes of Fabregas, signing Fellaini increases United’s chances of spending a large amount of money on Bale or Cristiano Ronaldo in the near future.
Fellaini is especially a good buy, as he had previously played under Moyes. Fellaini will only get better with age, and his physical strength will be a great advantage as the EPL gets physically tougher with each passing season.
With United giving Moyes the green light to shell out about £100 million, the newly appointed Scot can make a long-lasting signing for a small price.
